Default Re: Facing up to reality

I think you've taken a very important step in sharing this part of yourself because acceptance too is part of the healing process. I wish I could offer you some insight into this topic but its one I'm not familiar with.

I do know that rape and molestation is taken very seriously and the younger the victim, the more danger the criminal is in should he be thrown in with prison population. You know your a lowlife when fellow inmates want to kill you for your crime.

Its sad that people feel so closed off about this topic because I guarantee you gg, your not alone. Personally, I'd suggest looking into support groups or possibly even seeing a therapist and getting it off your chest. It's bad enough that it happened to you but the real tragedy is the years of anguish that follow as a result.

Also, I'm not sure how the legal system is in your part of the world but the statute of limitations here is quite flexible for this type of crime (for obvious reasons). You may even be able to report this person if you so desire because, sad as it is to say, you may not be his only victim.

Anyway, I'm glad you shared this part of yourself with us and I hope some of what we've added has helped ease your mind somewhat. The fact is, your a victim and at no point should you be made to feel ashamed of it. What happened is not your fault as stated previously so the best thing you can do for yourself is confront the issue and find ways to deal with it or at least, accept it.
