You don't sound at all. I hope and pray that he's suffering. He put me and my family through hell, so I hope he is going through hell now

I really hope so too. So many young women are afraid to name the person who did unspeakable acts to them. I admire your bravery!

I didn't pluck up the courage until I was 20. My mum had a breakdown after the revelation. We have spoke about it this week, as I'm nearly finishing my therapy sessions. I'm finally getting closure on that part of my life

It is still brave to live with that on your shoulders. You said something eventually it still takes bravery.

I broke up with my boyfriend at the time I said something cos he didn't believe me. I thought to myself 'you bastard' (excuse my language) and said to him that he wasn't worth my tears if he couldn't believe me. I'm happy that Me and the family could move on. I hope and pray that anyone that has been through the same thing can gain the courage to say something and get justice

No worries about the language, he is a bastard if he didn't believe you! I am happy for you and your family. You and your family deserve to move on, be happy and find justice! Agreed!

Kudos to you [@]Marsha Pomells[/@]! I hope your healing process brings you the peace of mind, safety, and power you deserve.

When I was little, I wanted to get on those stretchy machines to get taller until I found out that what actually happens is that they break your bones and reset them, giving you a whopping quarter inch of height if you're lucky. No bueno.

I like being a shorty, but I do sometimes wish I had those long supermodel legs.

So sorry you had to go through what you did when younger. You're a brave woman and hopefully the SOB who hurt you is getting his every single day.

It was awful and sad for all involved. He always looked like a kind man.

I know. I bet he was a nice man, but we don't know what happens behind closed doors.

I'm not going to go into detail, but a similar thing happened to me. It was a family member. He's serving the rest of his life in a mental institute

Oh Marsha!!! Big hugs to you!!!!

I had something happen to me when I was younger also. I never told my family. Just a few close friends. It wasn't anyone related to me, but someone who lived in the community and was much much older than I was. After that experience I was date raped at 16 by someone I thought was a trusted male friend. I think this is why I suffer on & off with depression and I have had it since I was a child.

aww, big hugs to you all.
Sadly, I can relate and could join your club.

I still need to find me a good therapist though.

I am really sorry to read what happened to you. I suffer from depressive episodes, one day I could be over the moon and then I could just switch without warning. I've had episodes where I just don't want to do anything, don't want to talk to anyone. It went as far as smoking up to 30 cigarettes a day for 3 weeks and not sleeping. So far, I haven't had a depressive episode in over a month

I am very sorry that happened to you! It is never easy dealing with something like that no matter that age. :support: here for you if you ever just need to vent!

[@]OctoberViolet[/@] and [@]JulieDiva[/@], I'm glad to see you both not just surviving, but thriving! Wishing you both continued strength, power, and peace.

Hugs to everyone! I was date raped by a boyfriend. I was passed out and then came to and he was having sex with me. He tried to play it off like he was asleep too. And then he said he thought it was funny because we were so messed up. I didn't want to think the worst, so I lied to myself and said it was no big deal. Later, he told our friends that we got so wasted we woke up having sex. It took a long time for me to admit what happened. It's so sad that so many have similar experiences. edited cause I can't spell when I'm mad

Wow I wasn't going to say anything about what happened to me, but you pretty much just told my story because the same thing happened to me. I'm so sorry that happened to you and all the other ladies here. It's not a fun experience to feel violated, especially by someone you are supposed to be able to trust. I broke up with the guy and didn't see him out in public until six years later and it brought back so many emotions that I just got in my car and cried.

HUGS. That is terrible. It is hard hearing everyone's stories. I want to talk about mine but I am not ready. Someday, maybe a book. It was hard watching House of Cards season 2 because it is along those lines.

 

[mousygiggles]

HUGS to all of us with stories and experiences.

I'm so sorry. I didn't want to admit that it happened to me. I felt stupid. And then I was angry. But it took years. He still thinks its funny and that it wasn't rape and that nothing bad happened. I didn't want to have sex for years. Hated it. It's better now and I love my guy. He's helped a lot.

I went through those same feelings, it is not easy trying to move on and feel comfortable with everything again. I'm happy to hear you have a guy that is so supportive, mine is too and I wouldn't have made it this far without him.

Big 'Ol Huggies to everyone!!!!!
