Not the same person

I believe that who we become, is not merely defined nor determined only on our biological make-up. It is a stew of sorts, made up of our parents contribute biologically, throw in some experiences, both positive and negative, add our education or lack thereof, emotionally encouragement, love, peers, community, etc. You get the picture. Therefore, if who I become is influenced by my experiences, then does rape not alter who I am? A re-birth takes place, a forced evolution.
