That’s okay, it’s part of the process. I’m sending you internet hugs and strength from someone who knows what it’s like. We’ll all get through this.

I hear you, my god, I hear you. Though... maybe I’ve tapped into some primal anger lurking within me lately, but I’m DONE being minimalized and retraumatized. You know who should quit earth, the fucking rapists and rape-apologists running rampant around here. Whereas you should definitely stay :)

YESSSSSSSSSS. That’s literally all I can add to this conversation right now because I’m in an emotinal hole from reading that transcript. But, you so hit the nail on the head with your comment and I just wanted to share my inarticulate appreciation!!!
