Rape Support Group

The first time I tried to tell a cousin I was really close to, and she said I deserved it. I did tell anyone else about it for a couple of years when my sister went through the same thing and confided in me. She has been the one that has really been there for me and really understands. I eventually told my parents because they knew something was wrong. They are very supportive. I also told a couple of ex boyfriends who really didn't understand at all. One even used to use it to hurt my feelings. He would tell me that I deserved it and that no other guy would ever want me for anything but sex. So I have had mixed responses.

The more people you tell the better. But protect yourself. Only tell trustworthy people. I told my 2nd husband, who was abusive, and he told me I deserved it. But most people in the world are sensitive and kind, so just as I said protect yourself.
