to think that I am doing well considering?

[myoriginal3]

I've been through a hell of a lot including rape by some random bastard and I'm still here keeping going.

He's being sentenced tomorrow hopefully. It was adjourned twice for lack of paperwork.

I'm still hanging in here.

Good luck for tomorrow!
Hope the sentencing goes ahead.
I'm sure you're doing well - posting coherently when I'd be a bag of gibbering nerves tell me that!

I feel like falling apart but I'm still alive, still cognisant and still aware. I haven't had a breakdown (I thought I might). I'm so grateful to just be sane tonight.

Hope the cunt gets what he deserves.

and hope my language doesn't offend

Thank you Ellisandra. I was just talking to myself for a while there.

Crunchymum - that and bastard are what I call him.

Ha! I also typed cunt but deleted it as not everyone likes to use the word!

Bet he's shaking like a shitting dog tonight, unable to sleep

Nice to hear about a successful conviction! Yes you are doing well and you will continue to do well I'm sure. I hope you've got some good support around.

Hope the sentence brings you some peace.

Well done for hanging in there OP, imagine it's hard. Good luck for tomorrow. Hope he gets put away for a long time.

Thing is, whatever happens tomorrow, you're in a better place than him.

If he isn't sentenced yet - well, the cunt has still been convicted, and it just means he has to worry for longer what will happen. Whereas yes, you'll want to closure I expect - but you can still move forward. He's in limbo, not you.

And if the sentence is lighter than it should be? It's still a conviction, and a sentence. Again, you can move forward, he's the one that is going to have his life turned upside down again tomorrow.

whatever works for you.

And if I have any mind control powers at all, cunt's going done for a long time tomorrow. I am sending out rot in hell arsehole vibes

Good luck today x

All the best for today

A new day, a new start for you OP. You're bloody marvellous! Onwards and upwards.

Good for you. Hope they throw the book at him.

I'm thinking of you. I'm in a slightly similar position as been through a trial and now defendant is appealing so although I was successful I still cannot move on with my life. With trials you spend so much time in limbo and loose so much control.

I hope he gets all he deserves ( and I believe prison isn't a nice place for rapists).

I also hope that you will find yourself again, learn to live and enjoy your life and refuse to be defined by the actions of another, incredibly evil person.

Give yourself time and space to recover and be so very, very proud that you have come this far.

I think cunt is the only appropriate word here. Also some praise is appropriate for the OP! Well done for keeping yourself together

Good luck today OP

Good luck OP. I hope everything works out for you. I also sincerely hope that the rapist lives through a hellish time in prison. I wish him the worst.
