There are many common reactions to sexual violence, not all victims are affected the the same way, and there is no right or wrong way to feel or react. In this episode, Mary shares an excruciating story about rape and the consequent mysterious death of the rapist that convinced Mary the world was unsafe and that she was unworthy of any relationship.

After reading Go Ask Your Mother, Mary provides a poignantly candid discussion of her personal evolution through the shame of this event, which she hopes will provoke deep reflection in the listener.
