Anyone else dreaming about this sexual abuse & mean drunk stuff?

I was held down and date raped in the woods on a first date at 20. It's insane for anyone to think you would not know who raped you or who might try to (accidentally) kill you. However, I did fear for my life when my ex husband became psychotic while falling down drunk and had his hands around my neck. My daughter was about 5 yrs old then and kept kicking him till he became distracted and let go. I thought I was going to die. I can really relate to Dr. Ford on this. The next day he totally denied it happened - said he would never do anything like that. I married him because "he was one of the nicest guys I knew". I usually have very boring dreams without much drama, but last night I woke up in the middle of a bad dream - three men coming toward me and I knew I was going to die.

God this stuff brings a lot of shit up.

Hopefully you'll get past your nightmares (one can hope). This is going to end badly for Judge Kavanaugh. I'd put money on it.

When Christine Blasey Ford talked about the laughter, I started crying...
