Please note this is triggering
Last night i switched the tv on and on the news was a news story i never imagined ever seeing. The bloke who raped me was jailed for attacks on 3 girls. He got 15 years. I wasnt even believed when i reported it now it leaves me well mixed up. Do i speak up now? Is there a point. Justice might be done but it isnt for me. I am in shock totally numbed out. Seeing therapist unofficially tonight for a quick emergency chat. :-(

I don't know what to say. I'm glad you'll get to see your T tonight. You need that support. I can't begin to imagine how shocking it must have been to see him on TV and how betrayed you must have felt by the system... like being raped all over again. I'm so sorry that happened to you.
As far as whether or not you should contact the authorities - I think that needs to be a very personal decision. If it's going to help you put an exclamation point on the end of your horror, then it's worth it. If it will only bring you more pain, then don't put yourself through it.

Please let us know how it went with your T, ok? And always know that we care!
Blessings and tons of luv!

Sami, I would look into the statues of limitations before you speak up fully. Maybe your T can help you with that. (((Sami)))) I hope things go better for you and that you make the decision best for you. What he did to you is wrong and maybe there will be justice for his crime against you.

I'm sorry T didn't have time to really talk to you, but I'm glad you'll have a full session tomorrow. I know you won't rest well tonight, but do whatever you have to to keep safe!
As far as the legal system, I'd think they would have paperwork on your initial complaint. Just a thought...
I hope all goes well wtih T tomorrow, hun. Remember I luv ya bunches!
Blessings,

Do what is best for YOU. Talk with your T, and try not to make any snap decisions right now. Sending good wishes and prayers your way.

I talked to one of my therapists. We decided she will speak with someone and see what options i have. We are thinking she comes with me to see a police liason officer and i file a complaint about how i was treated by them ie i was interviewed by two very very judgemental police officers who were both male and bullied me. This is not to re open the case but to get justice for being treated unfaily and not being belived when they had decided not to belive me b4 even meeting me

That sounds like a good option to me ((((((((((Sami))))))))))))
But the most importabnt question is, how are YOU feeling about it? Will it help you feel like there was some justice served? I do hope so!
Blessings,
Jen
