Anyone else dreaming about this sexual abuse & mean drunk stuff? [View all]

I was held down and date raped in the woods on a first date at 20. It's insane for anyone to think you would not know who raped you or who might try to (accidentally) kill you. However, I did fear for my life when my ex husband became psychotic while falling down drunk and had his hands around my neck. My daughter was about 5 yrs old then and kept kicking him till he became distracted and let go. I thought I was going to die. I can really relate to Dr. Ford on this. The next day he totally denied it happened - said he would never do anything like that. I married him because "he was one of the nicest guys I knew". I usually have very boring dreams without much drama, but last night I woke up in the middle of a bad dream - three men coming toward me and I knew I was going to die.

God this stuff brings a lot of shit up.
