But on my Facebook news feed I have seen from friends women and a few men as well share their personal stories. It is heart breaking to read.

and I can;t watch. I end up screaming at the television.

Also, my wife, who was sexually assaulted when she was 12, talked about it on her facebook page today. AFAIK, I am the only one she ever told before. She didn't even tell her therapist. I am so goddammed proud of her, it brings tears to my eyes.

I'm glad I have my friends around me and my Husband tonight when I get home

Yesterday was a little harder for me. Listening to the president disparage the women yesterday made me so angry

I knew from the beginning that I would not be able to watch so I'm holding up, but my heart breaks for everyone re-living their experiences.
