Dear Friends:
    Having been through rape twice, I must confess that  the mother's use of 
the term 'nipple rape' didn't bring up any  feelings from my past. I accepted 
her phrase, and understood it, and moved to  validate, and to comfort.
    I am sorry that so many of us on this wonderful  list have survived such 
an event. And I am happy that we are free to react and  to support, validate 
and listen to each other. Telling the story is part of the  healing. I treasure 
everyone's story.............
    Praying that our children are free from  assault.........
    warmly,
