I read this story and died a little bit inside. So many chances for people to just look at what you were going through, without judging or making it about themselves.

One thing I can say about you is you are a very talented writer. And that comes from knowing literally nothing about you except seeing a piece of your writing. So you probably have many other great things about you.

I'm sorry this happened to you. It's so sad. It should have never happened like this. What that guy did was horrific. I wish I could give you a long hug... just to say I'm sorry for what you experienced. Nobody should experience that.
