I'm sorry. That's terrible. I can't say I relate exactly but I do know the pain and the shame of being raped. I hope you are able to find justice and closure.

everyone tries to get me to talk about it and when I do they tell me its not my fault and that I was 8 but I cant explain the pain and the feeling I have everyday of feeling gross and dirty to them....

I think a lot more people can relate than you would think. Statistically speaking its one in six now. But I don't talk to most people about any of the things Ive endured because its so unimaginable to the five in six that never went through it. To watch someone wince and see the shock in their eyes when you talk about it is frustrating. We have to get the poison out to pick up the peices and move on but there are so few safebplaces to do that. If you're able to go to a therapist that's ideal. I went to one and it was very harmful so I haven't gathered the strength to find another. Is that something you could try to find?

I am going to a therapist and she was the one that is encouraging me about coming on here and talk to people.. its just hard, I'm a 20year old girl and I have the most amazing boyfriend in the world I mean I love him to death but I don't let him touch me, and its gotten to the point when he did I would jump or flinch so hes kinda just given up on that in a way.. ive always been that person whos wanted a family and I'm scared I'm going to miss out on it.. everyone including my therapist says its gonna take time, and I get that but I feel hopless and I feel stuck... I just feel like I'm never gonna get anywhere with anyone because of this.....

I was also raped by my cousin almost everyday for 3 years. Ages 6-8. Talking about it is the hardest thing to do. But it helps. Going to court will be though but if he goes to prison you will feel so relieved. I wish I could've put all my rapists behind bars... If you ever need to talk I'm here

This is widespread everywhere and it's a shocking factor. In many cases, the victim never knows until she has come of age. I so sorry to hear this. I have a sister. I can understand how you are feeling.
