I remember.
I also think about you often. I think God has bigger plans for you now and I'm in awe of your strength and courage. You will continue to be in in my thoughts and prayers as you continue on this journey.
Please continue to keep us updated.
Remember, you are loved by a whole community of women who have your back!

I am so glad to hear you're doing well (relatively). I have thought of you often recently with all of the references to sexual assault that we're inundated with in the media right now - I'm sure that hasn't been easy for you and the countless other victims of assault. I hope you get all the closure that you need and continue to move on with your life in a meaningful way - you have overcome so much.

What a fantastic update. To turn something so horrible around that it allows you peace and the opportunity move forward is outstanding.
I'll keep you tucked up in my warmest thoughts as you navigate your visit to him and close this chapter.

Hugs and peace to you, I hope you find the closure you’re looking for so you can put the past in the past and continue with the forward momentum you’ve already achieved. You are an incredible person!

i am am confronting him in person at the prison in 2 weeks. After about a year of working through the program in the prison that arranges these things, getting guidance from counselors and social workers, the date is finally here. I give you A LOT of credit. You have certainly 'grown' since this horrible thing happened to you and you have worked hard. I hate to say it but knowing he can never hurt you again in an odd sense must give you some peace. Let us know when you go and we can hold you in prayers/thoughts

I clearly remember reading your posts after if happened, and it is surreal to realize it has been five years. I would have guessed three at the most. I am so very proud of you for how far you have come from that day. I wasn't aware of your ex's strokes, but I can't say that I feel much pity for him. You deserve a beautiful, peaceful life and I'm so pleased to read that you are able to live it now.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Wow- 5 years!
I hope the visit will bring you some measure of closure. It sounds like you have developed a very healthy attitude to this dreadful thing . I'm glad you are doing this for you, not him .

I'm ashamed to say that with my memory loss I don't remember your posts, but I am happy to read how well you are doing. You are an amazing strong woman who has been through hell and instead of coming out of it bitter and angry, you came out of it with love and forgiveness. I know that took so much strength, courage and fortitude but you rose to the challenge and met it all head on. Congratulations to your 5 years of healing! I am so in awe of you.
I hope you find everything you are seeking when you go forth to your meeting with your ex. I wish you nothing but years of happiness and peace. Sending you big HUGS!

I remember. You, my friend, are an overcomer. You have persevered. You have shown such fortitude. You have not allowed bitterness to consume you. You have shown compassion to someone who does not deserve it from you.
I am so proud of you.

You, my dear, are an example of resilience that we can all look admire. It takes more strength to forgive than to hate. That doesn't mean that you will ever forget however.
I wish you the best

I remember your ordeal and can't believe it's been 5 years. You were then, and still are, so amazingly strong. I wish you more peace and more happiness in the future so that your life and new memories can help you put this behind you. You will never forget, but you're a survivor and I'm so happy that you are doing well. {{{hugs}}}

lesserknownpea- I remember when you posted about everything that happened. So glad to hear you're doing so well! How are your kids doing? They were having a hard time with everything, if I recall correctly.
