Rape Support Group
If you or someone you know has been the victim of rape, this is the place to find support and get advice. If you want, discuss your experience, share your feelings, and meet others going through a similar situation.
I am new to DS and am trying to find all the help I can get to be honest. I have been raped twice. I have had very abusive boyfriends in my life. One raped me and dumped me the next day acting like I was crazy. The other attack was from a guy that became obsessed with me. I am not ready to go to far into detail because I am not ready to. I am already crying just typing this. I am in therapy but I feel like I need more than that to get me through this.
I am new here as well and in a similar position. I can't go into details yet, it happened 1.5 days ago and I am terrified, disgusted and hurt. I haven't reported yet, debating if I am going to at all. I want to seek medical help as well as some kind of therapy but I am a dependent in the military and can not get the help I need without reporting it. I live in a small town so there is no support groups to go to in person. I am alone here, I have one friend, and I can't really talk to her about this.
Just know that you are not alone. I can't say anything to ease what you are going through because I know there isn't much any one could say to me to help me right now either. Maybe we could add each other and make this journey together somewhat. Maybe we could talk to each other. Maybe if you just want one person to tell your story to as apposed to a group, I can be that person. I am here and I am suffering as well. Please do not feel so totally alone.
When I reported my rape; I was treated badly, and the police officer didn't want to do anything other than saying "You can't handle this, if it goes to court."
I think things were different back in the late 80's.
Part of me thinks I'd do it again, another says no, because they didn't do anything to him, however...if he ever did it again, there's a report.
One thing I wish I had done, was to go to a rape support group, and ask for advice, and what to expect, and maybe have someone that knows what to expect, and how to handle it, would have helpled.
Can you call someone in your area anonomously?
Elie1626, please don't wait to long on this.
I'm also new here, this is my second post.
(((Hugs to both of you)))
