Someone could make up a million reasons to try to validate what has occurred, but I won 't ever be that person. I will believe you. I could name a list of things I will be there for, but it would go on forever. The amount taken away from you I can never give back, but I will believe you and here 's why.

If you do not think something is right, It isn 't.
I don 't care if you were drunk, drugged, or sober if something does not feel right then it is not right. Only you know your body. Never forget that. Whether it was ten years ago or yesterday. If you woke up bruised and battered, or you were awake the whole time I will believe you. It will not be my responsibility to tell you what to do, or what exactly happened, but I can find someone who can.
7. Sexual assault is hard enough.

8. I know everything you are about to lose.
Everyone heals differently, but you may lose a lot. I will be here to try to prevent that for you, by believing and providing support. The things you lose during this time can all be gained back in the future. You may not have the same friend group, or go to the same school, but you will still have me and I will still have
