You are everything at all.....
I truley believe that what comes around goes around and what you do will always catch up with you. maybe I need to believe that the guy who raped me is suffering his own hell and good. Try and focus on you and your needs and how you can care for yourself
Take care

It's a shame things like this happen. It's stories like yours that kept me from filing a report and dealing with being called a liar. I would have flipped out completely.

You still get a big pat on the back for being brave enough to stand up for yourself. Way to go!

Oh great. That's just frickin' great! OK....... so his family pretty much owns the town and was able to buy their son out. That's okay girlfriend......... cuz' his day WILL come.

You were very courageous and amazing to carry it through. It wasn't for nothing. It was for YOURSELF.

I mentioned my 80 year old aunt in a previous post. She was raped by her brother-in-law. She also went to court, but his family, like you, also owned half the town. Of course, it was like in the 1940's and it was a small town. She was pregnant from that rape, had a child at 15, and raised him. But the beauty of it was, the rapist and his family with all their money and "gold"...... lost it. EVERY PENNY. He pretty much had nothing left to his name years later.

So yes, what goes around comes around. you just keep on walking. Keep taking those steps towards healing and leave his ass behind. He's not worth you're even glancing in his direction. YOU know what happened and HE knows what happened. HE has to live with it................. you don't. Well, you do, but how you choose to live with it is your own choice. Hopefully it will be a choice of hope and moving on.

Hey Sista, you planted the seed of truth in everybody in that town! You should be proud of yourself. Yeah, it sucks that you lost the case, but he will SO get his. You may even have saved another girl from that A**hole, now that the word is out. You did a great thing in coming forward. Hold your head up and get to trying to pick up the pieces. Plenty of women here to help you do it too, you`re in the right place Honey.

I did nothing when I was raped. Months later a girl took one of the guys to court for rape. She later recanted her story and he got off with a hand slap for buying alcohol for a minor. I know from the way he treated me he got to her and scared her so she wouldn't talk. Karma baby...Karma...what goes around comes around and whether it's this life or the next these fuckers will get what's coming to them.
