🗣️ “I don’t have to win back trust. I never broke it.”
In this powerful final chapter of Three Times A Victim, Bruce finds purpose again—working in mental health, helping others heal. But even as he steps into a role of compassion and advocacy, the past claws back.
A background check dredges up the false narrative. Internal suspicion replaces support. Once again, Bruce is retraumatized—not by guilt, but by a system unable—or unwilling—to see the truth.
💔 This episode is not about redemption. It’s about injustice repeating itself.
It’s about being punished again for surviving. It’s about how shame sticks, even when it doesn’t belong to you.
🧭 In This Episode:
✔️ The cost of being re-labeled by old lies
✔️ How retraumatization unfolds inside systems meant to heal
✔️ Reaffirming identity, dignity, and truth—not for approval, but for liberation
✔️ A closing statement of self: “I am not who they said I was.”
🎧 Listen to the truth—unfiltered, unbroken, and final.
