I can’t speak on behalf of all victims but I can on my own. It SUCKED for years and still does. It RUINS you. Imagine being called a s**t because YOU were r**ed.
Imagine being told YOU ruined the family because you told authorities. Imagine not knowing HOW to manage your PTSD while in high school. Imagine family asking YOU to tell the judge to give leniency to your own r**ists.
Imagine being asked to VISIT your r**ists in jail and prison. If your r**ists k***led themselves in prison, you are told it would be YOUR fault.
Imagine not getting FAFSA or financial help throughout college and you had to stay with random families on holidays because yours didn’t want you.
Imagine trying to k**l yourself but you end up hospitalized and ruining your body. Imagine being scared of the dark and having reoccurring dreams of being r**ed.
Imagine your r**ists, after serving their time in prison, telling you that YOU should get over it because you said you don’t trust them. No! I’m never forgetting what you did nor will I ever trust you. (The fact you even have a daughter is frightening enough. But you’re back in prison for domestic t***orism so at least she’s safe for now.)
I am lucky that I have a husband who doesn’t push s*x on me and lets me initiate it. Even if we go a month without s*x, he doesn’t hold it against me and I am SO DAMN LUCKY he is patient and realizes my experience with s*x has been traumatizing.
Reading a lot of content on Reddit just infuriates me. A bunch of insufferable people.
I’m damn lucky in a lot of things and proud of myself too. I only wish the best for other victims (men and women) and hope all have a good support group.
Edit: title should say “people”, not “women”. Men get r**ed too. I was just frustrated over a men’s subreddit and their lack of empathy over this topic.
