Attack

[Guest guest]

ONS everyone, thinking about unprovoked attack on Dana Blu makes me sad and we

are praying for you to recover and move on. Talking/writing about what happened

and how you are responding to the trauma really helps. Bless you for sharing.

I have found for me that keeping secrets is as damaging as the original trauma.

Amma says the past is a cancelled check, thank the Gods.

 

Be gentle with yourself and know that you are loved. Bad things happen to

good people and good people respond with forgiveness and hope.

 

I survived childhood rape in a catholic orphanage (I don't remember when it

happened just the effects I remember now). Then in college I was raped by a

professor at my college. Because I didn't save the evidence or call the police

on him, the general opinion was that I invited the attack and it was a lover's

spat. It wasn't. I did get him kicked off the faculty. I vowed to never again

let myself be in that position. It took a long time to process that trauma. I

could not go into small bathrooms without leaving the door open. It was awful.

Even now I work to make sure I am in relationships and places where such events

are less likely.

 

We never know what will happen but each of us can go a long way to keep watch,

keep safe, pray every moment and follow the voice inside when it says RUN!
