The last thing – the thing he doesn’t know – is my protected secret.
DEAR AMY: I am in the most loving relationship with the man I want to marry. We talk about marriage often.
My own take is that you might start by reframing – to yourself – the language you are using to describe your rape. You think of it as a “deep dark secret.” It is something you are hiding. This is going to sound pedestrian, but I am a firm believer in practicing as a way to prepare yourself for a challenging experience or conversation.Choose a time and space where you feel comfortable and where neither of you will be distracted.
Remember this: So many survivors stand alongside you. I hope you can picture an army of supportive survivor-warriors who all have your back.We all decided to dress up as people from an iconic TV show. However, two of my coworkers, who are light skinned, are going over the top to change their skin tone to match the darker-toned cast members of the show.
I personally do not see it as a joke, and I don’t want to be involved in a group photo with two people doing something I don’t agree with. What can I do?DEAR INSULTED: Artificially changing the color of your skin in order to assume another person’s race as part of a costume is demeaning and racist – no matter who does it.
