    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I have never been "brutally" raped, but have finally come to terms with what my ex husband did to me for years. He is in jail right now for raping another woman. He used to pressure me into sex, even when I was pregnant and it hurt so bad, I would cry. He never cared. I had to have sex with him every time he wanted it, and every WAY he wanted it. I think coming to terms with the fact that I am also a victim, will help me get through this.
