Trigger warning:

This episode deals with date rape drugs, rape, sexual violence within a friend group, guilt, the effects of trauma, vomiting, and bleeding after an assault. Only listen to this episode if you feel stable enough to handle it. Stop listening if you feel overwhelmed.

Kati tells the story of a betrayal that still haunts her today. At 14, she met Tobi in a housing project in Cologne. He was two years older, seemed protective, and over the years became her closest confidant. Kati describes how she confided in him because she felt little support at home or at school.

At 16, she spent the night at his place for the first time. She remembers a movie night, then nausea, dizziness, and memory gaps. Tobi explained it away with cola, caffeine, or simply not tolerating it well. Kati believed him. On her second visit, she woke up in severe pain, again with nausea and a blackout. She has doubts, but doesn't voice them, partly because she's ashamed and doesn't want to lose the friendship.

Years later, they see each other again. Kati wants to be careful, brings her own drink, and clearly states that she doesn't want to stay overnight. Nevertheless, Tobi gives her a Fanta. Kati wakes up naked, bleeding, and in a panic. She sees sex toys and condoms and is kicked out. A neighbor helps her, she goes home, and remains silent.

Only many years later is Kati able to talk about it. She recounts how guilt, shame, and fear have affected relationships. In a support group, she learns that she wasn't the only one...
