Oct 2018

This has brought millions out of the silence of shame. Watching MSNBC the last few days I’ve heard almost every guest and every anchor has told of so many friends and family members telling them their #MeToo story. It has shocked them deeply. The men are telling how they’re asking their kids if they’ve been assaulted. There have been a lot of sad and grim faces on this week.

That’s the reason I talk about it. Because it helps other victims and it helps the people who love them.

I’m over all the pain of it. I talk about to help others. And in this case because it does feel like Trump mocked me.
