Over the years I have found some power pictures of women holding signs about what people have said to them about their sexual assault. These are so powerful. I hope you allow these to resonate with you. I sure did.
I always wonder what my sign would say. Here are a few statements that I remember hearing:
“Are you sure it was Wilber and not Bruce. Wilber came from a middle-class family. Bruce came from a welfare family” -what an aunt said after I told her Wilber raped me.
“I don’t know who you are talking about. It happened so long ago so there is nothing that can be done now”-what my dad said after I told him his friend molested me.
“Well you know that family is a bunch of hillbillies”-what my dad said after I told him Wilber raped me.
SAID NOTHING-my mom’s reaction after I told her about my sexual traumas.
Maybe one day I will be strong enough to write one or more of these and take a picture of it.
Take Care. Much Love
