I Was Raped

When i was 13 my step brother was staying with us like he had a million times before. We stayed up all night and were just talking, and then late at night he raped me. At first I didnt think any of it, but i ended up losing all that meant anything to me. My friends, my trust in others and my family. I ended up feeling suicidal and empty. Trying to fight against the feeling of being used or empty isnt easy, but apparently it can be done. I dont know if any of us can truly overcome this as i think its impossible, but hopefully with this new website and all the new groups we can try. I dont know how any of you found this website, but for me i came from experience project, and with the people i met there i started to feel okay with who i am and learned a lot about myself. I learned that I am not alone. I do not have to stand against my past without help from others.
Well, i hope to see more of you posting here. Goodnight ~
