“I still don't want to be near him”

Friend's boyfriend said I deserve to be raped, triggered memories of my own rape

What I wish I knew
"He was truly sorry, but his apology didn't change how I feel"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't minimize someone's trauma with 'it was just one bad comment'"
