I didnt know where to put this, so put it here.
I was raped at the age of 14 by an older man who regularly raped me on and off over the next 10 years. It is a complicated and depressing story.
He was imprisoned in 2002, for an unrelated crime. I was told he had received a life sentence, and am not sure how it works - I know life can mean 12 years etc but not sure how sentences are reduced or whatever. Anyway, I found out today, via FB of all things, that he has just come out of prison.
I am absolutely crushed by this news. I just feel so frightened knowing he is out there. I am going through a very difficult period in my life as it is, and this news just seems to have rocked me completeky. I havent been able to eat, sit still, do anything constructive at all today. I am a complete zombie.
The worst thing is, I have never told anyone about what he did to me (well, I told an ex boyfriend many years ago but we are no longer in touch), so I have nobody to talk to about this. My husband doesnt know (our marriage is currently going through a difficult patch as it is), none of my friends or relatives know....I feel so alone and so burdened with these terrible memories I thought I had buried and an awful fear inside that somehow he will find me and hurt me.
I dont really know what I am asking for. I just wanted to share this with somebody.
