(2) male survivors and he will get a little despondent. Most of the time, he continues on like nothing happened. I am much more open with him about my assault than he is with me about his. I don’t pressure him to talk about it, but part of me wishes he would. The more I talked, the less ashamed of something that was -not- my fault I became. I hope he can reach a fully healed point in his life, if he hasn’t already.

It pisses me off that stuff like this happens…
