Dear Alice,

I am so terribly sorry about this event that happened to you. Obviously, my words cannot take back what happened but hopefully they can give you some hope. My biggest fear in life is what happened to you. Getting grabbed by a man I do not know and getting raped. I have not found out with how you dealt with it completely, and I don't know how you could. But, from what I do know, I would for sure say you are a very brave person. How you could just go and tell people right away that that had happened to you is remarkable. I would be to scared and embarrassed to tell anyone that. I don't understand the man who did it to you though. I don't get how he could wake up the next morning and just flip around and ask you if you are alright. Of course you aren't alright. But, I respect your decisions on helping him out when he needed it, otherwise you could have gotten more injured or even killed if you did not do as he pleased. I can't believe the things he said to you or made you do. It made me sick to my stomach when you described what happened and also when he said, " You're the worst bitch I've ever done this to." I don't even understand how someone in their right mind would have the guts to say that to anyone. If anything, I think he should thank you because you did what he wanted, right? But of course, never can you accept a thank you that gives you no happiness back. But I believe you have the strength to fight through this and I hope more than anything that you find you rapist.

Sincerely,
Ellie Gleason
