Hi all its been just about 4 years since i reported my step dad for sexually abuseing me. He still remains in prison and wont be out for another 3 to 4 years. I still have mixed feelings about everything i think in doing well then something knocks me back.my boyfriend is very supportive and says he understands but no one can unless they have been through same. Everything seems to be worrying in me like what happens wen he gets out, and i always think i see him in street and for that split second wen i see him i panic feel sick and cant breath, then i realise its not him. It just scares me of what i will be like wen i really do see him.
I always think I see the people who abused me too. I don't have any of my sexual abusers in prison, so I don't know what it will feel like if you see him when he gets out. Sexual abusers should be in prison for life. It's not fair.
Hi loveAlice nice to meet you, I'm sorry you went through the abuse and rape. Have you reported your abuser.? Maybe it's a good idea. To maybe think about reporting it. I agree they should have a long time in prison
Hope you are well I'm here if you need to chat ;)
I know what you mean in regards to it being traumatic and triggerring. You may want to somehow ask your DA what can be done. A restraining order may help for legal protection. May not stop him . But he goes back in if he feels he is above the law and decides to torment you. I'm not exagerating when I suggest he may feel he is above the law despite his prison sentence having been served. Enjoy the present moment and enjoy your boyfriend. :)
Hope you are well I'm here if you need to chat ;)
