We have to give our selves a break from the memories but never forget them so hopefully somebody else won't have to go thru what we did at all or for as long a time.

this rape culture is a war culture -a war between truth and justice ----we can end the culture of rape by being out front with our stories that are hard to listen too but teach people how to be decent people.
