This is not a “he said, she said.” This is what happened. I’m writing this blog anonymously- not because I’m ashamed, but because I need space to speak freely. I’m a survivor. Not a victim of misunderstanding. Not someone who “regrets a decision.” Not someone making things up. Just… a survivor of something I didn’t ask for, and didn’t deserve. I created this blog because I know how lonely it can be — not just in the moment of trauma, but in the months and years that follow. The weight of being disbelieved, or worse, ignored. When I brought my case to trial, I had nothing. No support system. No advocate. No idea how to prepare emotionally or physically for what I was about to face. No one told me how brutal the courtroom could feel — or how much I would have to carry on my own. So I want to change that. Not by offering legal advice, but by telling the truth – my truth. I want to share how I got through it, how I prepared, what I learned the hard way, and what I wish someone had told me before I walked into that courtroom. This blog is for the moments when you’re not okay– and also the ones where you start to feel your power come back. I don’t have all the answers. I’m not a therapist or lawyer. I’m just someone who’s still here, still standing, and still willing to speak. If that helps even one person feel a little less alone – this will have been worth it. You’re not crazy. You’re not overreacting. You’re not too much. You’re not hard to love. You’re credible. You’re healing. You’re not alone. – Just a Survivor.
