I reported a historic rape to the police over the weekend.
They were very good and said someone will be in touch this week to arrange making a video statement about it.
I feel ok-ish, but the longer I wait for the call the more I'm wondering what it will be like.
The DC said it would probably take about 2 hours. Has anyone done one? Will I be allowed breaks, do you know? Or will I just have to talk it through for two hours straight?
I keep thinking they are going to interrogate me and I'll mess up.
All I can do is tell the truth, I know, but what if they pick holes in me and what I say? I have some memory gaps and things and I don't want to get this wrong.
