[quote=Anonymous]I work with homeless young women who have children under the age of 5 and their families. Not all rape is violent, many children are conceived in non-consensual situations due to drugs, alcohol, age. It is also common to find out that many of these homeless young women themselves were products of violent or non-violent rape. For a few of these young women this story is a narrative that they can not seem to get out of (and/or their mothers can not get out of it). I think it is a personality issue in part, some people are resilient, others are not. For those who are not as strong, perhaps they would have been better off not knowing. I think for those that are secure and strong, this is a part of them, but does not define them. [/quote]
