Hey guys!
It's Ali, the RNJ Founder and President. We're so blessed to be able to open the forums again.
Please feel free to introduce yourselves and get to know the staff and fellow RNJ members. Our forums used to be a very popular place to share your story, poetry, photos of artwork, healing tips and suggestions, and talk about what's going on in your personal lives. Please, please, take advantage of SafePlace and share your story!
I will gladly play 20 questions.

Hi Ali, I am clad you decided to open this up. I saw the facebook post about sharing this morning and was a little distressed with the lack of empathy showed by some posters, I also thought its essential to have a private place to discuss these things. So a big thumbs up from me!

So a big thumbs up from me! Bonnie, it seemed that a lot of people were wanting a place to share, so we decided it would be a good time to reopen a private/public forum. For each person, their healing journey is dependent on sharing their story. But if you're not ready to share your story, or acknowledge your story, it's hard to heal. It's a vicious cycle. |

Hello Everyone,
My name is Carrie and I just joined the forum today. I seen the ad for this forum on my Facebook page and I, who have endured the tragedy more than once, am one who firmly believes rape is never justified; regardless of how it is enacted. I have been drugged, vaginally raped, sodomized, and forced to perform oral sex with afterwards only to hear the people who should be supportive revictimize you. Yet, I stand strong in my professions for I believe that if a person does not, out of free will, without any outside factors of coercion or persuasion, consent, then it is rape. I am a great shoulder to lean on if anyone needs to talk.

Hello, I need help finding a way to live knowing that my rapist, who is considered a serial rapist, has managed to be let out of jail until trial. How do I live knowing that he knows where I live, where my son goes to school. Another thing is feeling betrayed by the justice system ans even by people. They don't get PTSD that I had previously since childhood, they think that i should have recovered from the rape but I got really angry last night when a friend told us he went to jail for 2 years for stealing 105 $ with an unloaded BB gun.... He is not a danger to society. Meanwhile rapists and pedophiles are let free.. How can I live with this injustice and feeling that society does not care or want to hear about us. I have no more friends. It seems it is too much for them... Good thing they are not in my shoes, they would not last 5 minutes. I am sick of living like this and I can't find a way to make it bearable, Thank you. Nelli
