Welcome! This is a personal blog where I reflect on life, Judaism and my healing from an abusive childhood (including incest and other forms of abuse) and a bit of politics. If you are a victim/ survivor/ thriver, or a friend/ significant other/ spouse/ partner of one, or if you are looking for more information, read and comment below. I began this blog in June of 2003 when I was looking for a place to speak out and I found a community of friends and support. Come on in, ya'll.

Abuse in the Military - "The Invisible War"
A groundbreaking and important film called "The Invisible War" will be shown at this year's Sundance Film Festival on January 20th. The film examines the underreported epidemic of sexual assault in our US Military. Based on my time in the military, I believe it. "It is estimated that up to 30% of women who serve in the U.S. Military have been raped by a fellow soldier. Only 8% of these rapes are reported (so we can assume that the numbers are much higher). Only 2% of reported rapes receive convictions"
