Dear Angry,
I am not the person you
should be upset with. .Y ou
can chalk this one up to your
own blunder. Did it ever occur
to you to ask the guy if he was
married or single? Was he ever
aware of your feelings or inten­
tions? Did you tell the guy how
you felt about him? Or were
you hoping he could read your
mind? The advice works when
applied with common ense.
Always,

b . F or some reason I keep
thinking e didn't fight hard
enough or maybe e re y
anted the guy. The thought
of him keeps getting in the way
of whats left of our relatio -
ship. You are the fll'St penon
t I hay told ho I really

Dear Afraid,
First of all ould never
presume that I could give you
an answer to your problem in
one letter. Its impossible.
The trauma ofaxual assault
does not end with ju t the
attack. For most victims and­
that includes you its more
often the physical and emotional
after effects plus a lack of
knowledge of where to seek
help. An important part in
recovering is to stop being a
victim and become a survivor.
You need emotional support as
well as imformation on medical
and psychological respon es of
the rape survivor (which includes
friends and families).
For your ake as well as for
your girlfriends' take that next
step and get in contact with a
rape crisi center, they can put
you in touch with a councilor
and a victim assistance program .
Call information and ask for
'rape crisis center'. Do it today.
Always,
Erik Washington
