Thank you for the apology. No hard feelings at all. I get it. I totally understand why this made you anxious. Trauma survivors so often have their reality questioned that it’s natural to feel very easily attacked.

I have read many, many trauma stories on Medium and they all seemed authentic except this one story.

The way my story blew up and the way it came out that so many people felt like me was a shock and it created a lot of anxiety for me.

The story that disturbed me were sadistic porn (rape and torture in excruciating detail) and now I am creeped out and scared because it seems almost certain now that what I suspected was in fact true.

I really appreciate all the support. It really makes s difference to me.

As for how do we make things safer? I would love any work in this direction because I do not feel very safe even reading on this platform now.
