This is for partners or really good friends of victims and survivors. If you find you need support to help someone you love deal with abuse, post it in here.

well, i don't know if this counts as needing help in supporting someone else, but i am a peer educator and we are holding a major event next month. it's like a march on our campus in response to all the rapes that have been occurring at night on my campus (Morgan State University) called "Take Back the Night". we are having testimonies and a candlelight walk among other things. this is a new thing for me to do, and i want to give my testimony. i just wonder how i can help make this night successful

Hi, I just accepted the invitation to this guild from my favorite person in the world, my girlfriend, PrincessAmi. Those of you who have read her story and other posts on here know that she is truly a strong person is dedicated to the battle against sexual assault/abuse. I love her dearly and do everything I can to support in any way I can. I attended and helped out at the Take Back the Night program that you might have read about. That whole night I was so nervous. I was nervous for her since she was going to tell her story at the conclusion of the program and I...I really can't explain what I was feeling. I had heard the story before and read it in BCCC's newspaper, but for some reason...like I said, I don't know. I was picturing her breaking into tears while telling her story and seeing myself running to the middle of the circle to be with her. I should have known better though. She said she kinda felt the tears coming, but she was strong. I felt so proud that she did that.
The only thing other than pride that I felt was intense anger toward her rapist. I don't think I had heard it from her in such detail before so I guess that's why I don't remember feeling that way before. I honestly wanted to kill him...or at least castrate him. I think any man who abuses a woman in any way is not a man at all. They are cowards and they all deserve to die. I'll stop now before I go on an insane tirade.
I wish all of you survivors the best. If you haven't already found the support and peace that you deserve, I hope that you find it soon.
Love you, Princess
