What do you think gave you the strength to come forward? Both in general, and publicly I mean. I've heard of too many cases that go unmentioned, or at least aren't not to authorities. I'm curious if you think it was just your personality, a support system you have in place, or whatever it may be.

Mildly relevant, but I love very specific "keep your chin up" type phrases like this. Keep your stick on the ice is going in the mental compendium, thanks

I figured it was Canadian and/or hockey related. First time I've heard it outside the context of the sport. "Your best chance to score is to keep your stick on the ice."

Glad to know that's something I can do to help others in this position. It's always been a fear of mine that a friend would be raped and be too afraid to come forward about it.

Sorry for what's happened to you, but I hope others can use your experience to make others' lives better in turn. Best of luck to you, and you have my support (at least as much as I can give to a stranger on the interwebs).
