I was 15 when I was sexually assaulted by the doctor that I had seen since I was 2 years old. I never said anything about it, for a lot of reasons, but mainly because he was the medical professional and I was his young patient, what do I know about what is appropriate in the examination room. Do you think it is even more common than your study finds because of people like me who never told anyone?

It is scary how often this stuff happens. I am so thankful for everyone involved in this movement of exposing these people who abuse their power for their own sexual gratification that has been gaining more momentum over the last couple of years. I wish I would have known when I was 15 that I was not alone and I was not weird or out of line by saying something. Thank you for your work and efforts in exposing this to the public.

Hearing how many others have gone through similar experiences definitely inspired me to open up and share on here. I do feel like it interferes with my relationships with doctors today, but I will go even further and say it has affected the way I view people in general. This person who I knew my entire life and felt like he was a safe person completely took advantage of me and used his position to do so. Just because you think you know someone or you think you can trust someone because they are trusted and liked by others, does not make it true.

Because I always understood the meaning of the word cushy to be “easy and low stress”.

I absolutely love your work and as an artist I aspire to master my own style as you have done. My question to you is how long have you been painting and how long did it take for you to develop your style?
