Stigmatic memoirs represented in a formal document. The stigma in this context is a psychological mark of disgrace. Derived from memoirs of childhood abuse residing in adulthood, can be jolting and problematic in attempts to lead a life of normalcy. When one’s childhood is infected, it develops into a virus leading to a dysfunctional adulthood. Those moments of normalcy in a child’s life, most people in society get to experience and cherish denied, thus leading adults broken psychologically and emotionally. Dysfunctional moments leading to handling these re-occurring traumatic events in adulthood are unwanted shackles of rape culture. Regressing moments not beneficial to leading a normal life, this re-victimizes, returning subconsciously and vividly as the initial occurrence.

Broken Shoreline is a metaphor, where a shoreline is symbolic to society's notion of ideal, associations to the sublime. Broken, is the purity and innocence, and by virtue has contaminated this pristine, transitory moment in time. In adulthood, victims of abuse re-live those traumatic manifestations from early years. Those exact occurrences are played subconsciously, without notice those exact memoirs are triggered by live events. In adulthood, reliving those moments and the re-victimization occurs, sometimes days later or months, never the less it will resume, without notice.
