Until recently I didn’t realize Ron Perlman voiced a chunk of my childhood.
I Came Out to My Mom
As bisexual and practicing polyamory/non-monogamy. And it totally went okay! What a relief!
I’ve lived with ghosts since I was a kid. Since before I knew they were even there. Ghosts are guilt, ghosts are secrets, ghosts are regrets and failings. But most times a ghost is a wish.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018) based on the novel by Shirley Jackson
Objectivity
Reposting my homework, because I think it’s about time I share my story.
I’m in a forensic nursing course, and they asked “Please share your thoughts about being a forensic nurse and remaining objective. The premise is that when someone reports any type of crime, they are typically believed, but with sexual assault, patients are either blamed or not believed.”
This is my response:
Well, let me start that I wasn’t expecting for this to hit me as hard as it did. This is going to get personal, very quickly, I will spare the details. I’ll address the question asked, and then get into my own story.
As a nurse in general it is important to remain objective. I read one of the other posts that spoke to how hard it is to have the person in the back of your head inputting biases when assessing different situations. I too have had to distinguish between medication-seekers, and those who truly need high dose pain medications. Practitioners admitting patients for medication overdoses, and having to decide when to place them back on their meds. What’s going to be worse, the overdosing or the withdrawal? I’ve seen both sides, and neither are a walk in the park. One doctor we have, whenever you ask for pain medication, his first response is always “Are they a druggie?” I think that we can all address that we live within our personal biases and bubbles, but that it is true in the case of sexual assault, many are just not taken seriously.
I have been sexually assaulted twice in 25 years on this earth, once as a sophomore in high school and the next time I was a senior in college. Neither time did I report it.
The first time was another kid from down the street. He was in my grade. He lured me in to watch So You Think You Can Dance, late at night. We got on the couch, he did what he did, and then in a now panicked voice said that I had to go home. I was startled, confused. Unable to tell my parents because I obviously snuck out and “got myself into that trouble”. This same kid later texted me that he just got back from church camp that day, and that God would forgive me and that He would still love me. That everything was forgiven. What?? What backwards thinking, that I was in the wrong, and I needed to be spared.
I read another post here which is why I decided to share this story. About how you interviewed someone who went on a date and then didn’t feel right about it. Well I related to her. I understand about how it could seem as false reporting. How she could change that guy’s life forever. I see it from the other side. From her side, maybe she’s someone that needs to be explicitly asked the question. “Is it okay if we do this today? Are you comfortable?” There are many people who do not say no, due to fear or past events. It’s all about consent. Implied consent isn’t consent.
The second time, it was the typical horror story you hear about sororities and fraternities. All of my sisters and I were partying at a fraternity house. Our Sweetheart lived there, and many times he would give one of us the keys to his room, we would sleep up there safely away from everyone else, and he would sleep on the couch. One night it was very different. I had a few too many drinks and I went up to the room and locked the door. Our Sweetheart’s older brother (not greek affiliated) was at the party and he had gotten into the room. I woke up to him assaulting me. I was literally crawling on the carpeted hallway, when another guy found me, stole my roommates keys, drove her car and took me home. I told that guy what had happened to me, and he told his fraternity. They basically black listed me. Nobody would look at me, speak to me. Acknowledge that I existed because of what I had claimed.
Why do I tell you all of this? Because nobody but that one guy believed me. Because just last week I received a message in my Facebook inbox, the Sweetheart, my assaulter’s little brother, asking how I’m doing, and how “he hasn’t talked to me in a while.” Four years was enough time for releasing any guilt of knowing that his brother had done, what he had done to me. Because this is the typical scenario where there are multiple factors on why you wouldn’t believe me. Example questions/statements I’ve been told are:
Why were you in another guys room?
Well you were so drunk, how could you remember any of that?
You put yourself in that situation, you should have known better.
You can’t tell anybody, that will ruin (insert Sweetheart’s brother’s name here).
Objectivity. That’s the point of this post right? And it’s clear that when I hear that someone else is a survivor like me, I see things differently. When I see what’s happening on the news, how that effects me differently. I feel that taking a step back from the situation, really analyzing all the parts to the puzzle is what makes us good nurses. Seeking the truth from both sides on what is really needs to be going on. But diminishing feelings, automatically throwing biases will not help you grow as a nurse, or help the patient in their time of need.
Thanks for reading.
