Ten years ago I survived a terrible auto accident that in a split second made me a disabled adult. I had two choices; I could stay in bed and be taken care of, or I could do as I am doing today, and love my life, myself, my daily doings
By Rebecca Preston
Ten years ago I was in a car accident in which I was expected not to live.
I was in the hospital for three months. During that time, and throughout all the therapies, not one person brought up my sexual identity. I suppose they thought it didn’t matter, that there was so much I had to recover from. But it was really important. Throughout the years, I feel as if my sexual identity is the one area in which I received no therapy. And that is a shame.
