Reading this brought back a flood of memories. I was assaulted in college, and for years, I blamed myself. I thought I had done something to provoke it. It took years of therapy to realize that it wasn't my fault. The shame and guilt that survivors carry is a heavy burden. Mariska's story is a reminder that healing is possible. It's a long and difficult road, but it's a journey worth taking. If you're a survivor, please know that you are not alone. There are people who care about you and want to support you. Don't be afraid to reach out for help. There is hope for healing and a brighter future.

My heart aches for Mariska. This is a story that many women share in hushed tones, fearing judgment and disbelief. Hearing her speak her truth gives me hope. I was assaulted by a family friend when I was 16. I buried that trauma deep inside, pretending it didn't happen. For years, I struggled with anxiety and depression, unable to understand the root of my pain. Seeing Mariska's courage has inspired me to finally start my own healing journey. It's not easy, but I'm taking it one day at a time. Thank you, Mariska, for showing me I'm not alone.
