I felt violated but am not sure how to explain it

[Gricmy]

I feel like I got attacked this evening but I don’t know how to describe it and how to even report it if I want to.
It really started as a heated debate during which I got cornered and pushed against the wall with his body against me, and I could feel that he was “excited” by it all, which was sickening. I did leave then.

I don’t know how to even explain this because it will surely just be one word against the other, and nothing will come of it. I know what I need to do but I don’t know if this is even something I can report, if this makes sense.

Well, you can report the violence, surely?

If someone pins you against a wall that's a violent assault. I am sorry this happened to you. It will be taken seriously if you report it. And you can mention the 'arousal' in your recounting, just so that it is on record.

What makes you think it was her brother??

Just you then.

There are some weird people on MN

Was it someone you know @Gricmy. Hope you are OK.

Was it a work colleague?

Lol - I know it looks weird but I promise I quoted a post saying if it's your brother you need to report it!

Do you have a friend or family member who can support you IRL @Gricmy? It will really help and you need people around you right now.

@fivefoottwowitheyesofblueyou should report that to MN because, I’m on iPad, I can usually see deleted or edited posts and nothing shows for me

@Gricmyi hope you have someone with you. Assault is assault. Report it as you have here and how it is handled by police and courts is not your responsibility. You look after you, and I hope you have someone to support you

I believe you because this was about my brother, and I had complained about him before. But I don’t know why posts would disappear. I just wanted to comment because this seemed unfair on you.

They won’t take sides. But I’m leaving tomorrow for a week.

I didn't realise it was a family member until your later posting - is there a friend who could support you? It sounds good that you are getting out of the immediate space, that's a really sensible move, whether it was planned or not.

I'm really sorry this happened to you OP it would have frightened me too x

Thank you, but wow I really wish you didn't have to say this. How awful for you - I really hope you have some support irl.

Sending love and support xx
