I had become a victim and what I didn’t realize was I had no idea when it had happened. I wasa woman comfortable with who I was, with a life of quiet calm ahead of me. But life had otherplans, for the rest of my life I would live with a fear that many a woman would have, and aquestion that was on the lips of most women. I thought that I was immuned to the word knownto most women. A word synonymous pain, ABUSE! The very core of my being was taken. I was Shattered, but Not Broken!
