Found out today that my case maybe dropped, lack of evidence. I have to call the investigator in the morn. and see what is going on. I'm so tired of all of this.

He is able to go and live his life and I'm stuck with the nightmares and flashbacks. My husband has to put up with the mood swings and not wanting to be touched and he gets to go on his merry ole way.

Life is so unfair!!!!!! Justice is never served!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been waiting 12 months for my trial. It's been postponed twice and he's out on 75,000 straight cash and lives .9 miles from me. I haven't happy with the police, the judges who gave him a postponement, even my DA hasn't impressed me. I've been on 6 prescriptions and am in counseling for PTSD. I thankfully have been able to keep my job aand work remotely from home. I know everything you're feeling. He held me captive for 20 hours. It was the first time I met him. He threatened to come back and hurt me and he did come back twice and was arrested outside my apartment. I'm thinking of you. I hope they are mistaken and you can find some peace. Survivor2008

I read this article about how in India, there's this group of women called the Pink Saris, and they beat the crap out of men who hurt women as an attempt to force the government to take crimes against women more seriously. For some reason it always makes me feel better to imagine a gang of women in pink sarees beating the crap out of some rapist.

Sometimes it doesn't feel like our government is much better, because something ridiculous like only 6% of rapists ever spend a day in jail. It's insanely hard to come forward and stand up against the man who attacked you. I think it's amazing that you did come forward.

It's horrible, how often justice is never served.
I'm sorry. :(

I'm sorry. I have had that happen to me each time I was raped. I am here if you ever want to talk. Blessings.

I understand. I could've written those exact sentences a few months ago. If you want to talk, I'm here. Don't give up, though - keep fighting. You can.

I have been through the exact same thing. I'm here for you...

This is terrible news!

I experienced the same thing. After nearly a year of trials, my case was thrown out because all the evidence was circumstantial!

And now, every once in a while, I see him, and he seens me. And he smiles and acts so polite. Because he knows he gets away with it. And 4 years later, I still cringe because I was made to look like a fool.

I'm praying you get the justice so many of us are denied.
