I am living in constant fear. I could not help the police identify my rapist due to him wearing a mask, the rape kit came back negitive. I have been having horrible nightmares about him comming back. I live with my in laws, "very close to my house where it happened" My husband says chances of him coming back are zero. The police say he won't be stupid enough to try it again. I don't know why but my gut keeps telling me to stay alert, not to put my guard down. He did say it was just the beginning after he raped me. Has anyone been attacked again by the same person? Should I be concerned, and follow my gut?

i think the fear will always stay with you but will ease with time, im 7 years on and still look out for my attacker(who i knew)Build up your defense mechanism, security, friends ,alarms, self defense classes. You feel vulnerable but it doesnt mean he will be back. Take care Fighting, we all have the same fears as you X X X

fear is normal and as long as you dont let it control you its ok. just try to do things that will help you to calm down. you have to reassure yourself that youre safe. ive never heard of anyone being attacked by the same person again...but i wouldnt completely let down your guard. the fear is there to protect you, just dont let it take you over.
