Thanks!

I donated but couldn’t leave this comment: “Shaindel sent me.” You are such a kind person!

I feel the same way. I question the intelligence, integrity, judgement, character, and patriotism of anyone who ever supported Trump. The stench of corruption and greed taints the GOP, as is evident from the continued support of Trump.

What I admire about the Jewish people are their many academic and scientific achievements. Many Nobel prizes won etc, because of their dedication to scholarship. I choose to celebrate, rather than envy, these accomplishments.

Your post reminds me of the geography game I play each morning

Then, when and if you are ready to tell your story, you will have evidence to back you up, even if it is years later.

Tell someone: A trusted friend, or call a rape crisis center. You don’t have to reveal all the details, you can say you want the person to document the assault when it happened to you. If you tell your friend who it was, maybe they can get a photo of the assailant with scratch marks on him.

Document: The place, the time, what happened, who was there, how the situation unfolded. Everything you can remember. These details will support your story.

Collect DNA evidence ASAP: Before you take a shower, use a Q-tip or cotton ball to collect evidence and let these items dry out before storing in a baggie. Clip and save your fingernails if you were able to scratch him. Save any clothes as well.
