Hi everyone. I am very new to mums net, this is only my second post! I'm also really aware I've not interacted on any forums as yet so I've not commented on other peoples posts as I've just not had time yet to really get involved 😴😓😮💨
So I know this might mean I won't get much of a response from this question if I'm not giving much back!
But it's been weighing on me and I could do with some unbiased feedback.
This question might also be a trigger for some.
I posted recently about my MIL (thanks for the feedback it was really helpful!) and since I've been civil but have cut her from my life. My baby and DH still speak with her once weekly on video chat but I'm rarely involved.
Approx. Five years ago now I was recommended someone on a professional basis via my MIL. I met with this person both reguarly and semi reguarly for eighteen months in total (only ever on a professional basis) and in that space of time this person both assaulted me and sexually harassed me.
The assault was sexual but was very "minor" (I don't know how else to describe this. I know assault is never minor but I feel what happened to me in comparison to what's happened to some is not as "bad"?)
The sexual harassment was to me far worse because it involved emotional and verbal abuse.
I kept quiet because of my MIL as she and this person were friends of sorts.
Now I feel like I should have reported him and sod what MIL thought. I don't know... this post is probably stupid and pointless and will no doubt upset some who read it.
I'm sorry, this was never my intention.
I just don't know what to do. Perhaps I'm just needing to dump this all somewhere!
Is it too late to report
