Then you're doing even BETTER in finding the energy to go after this bastard. look, so many people would have hidden it and let it cave them in even further.
He isn't there NOW. You are you, and busy working out how to heal yourself - the kind of thing piffle was talking about. That's a really important step forward.
But I know that probably nothing but some time and distance - and hopefully some justice for that bastard - will help.

Sweetie, i don't know who you are, and even if I did, i wouldn't know you, iyswim. But since you have nothng to be ashamed of if using another name makes you feel as if you are have to hide, then don't put that extra pressure on yourself. Think about it over night?

When I read your post the first night you started this thread, i thought you were a new poster.

Oh - i'm just a bad typist!

ok, i really must go - am still at work.

But was just thinking that there's no way we canlearn what it might be like to deal with something this horrible. Somthing really horrible did happen to me once - not rape, but i very very emphatically did not want to have sex without contraception, unhealthy relationship, he wanted to prove that if i really loved him i would want his baby, and at the contraception-or-not-moment there was force and me fighting very violently, and it wasn;t a good outcome at all.

I just thrashed around doing inappropriate things, calling him in the night and hanging up, having not-very-well-thougt-out relationships, and going to the gym like there was no tomeoorow in a frenzy of geting fit that i now recognise as re-claiming my own body for myself.

Actaully, that really helped, because it was a positive thing i was doing to myself, nota negatibve thing - i didn't self-harm or under-or over-eat, I did everythnh=g very healthily and got v v fit. WEhich improved my self-esteem no end....

Maybe when the time is right, something equivalent might fall into place for you?

JT, I haven't been around for a few days. Glad to see you are still on here. Hope you had a reasonable nights sleep. xx

I don't think mns do know who you are - I don't.

I don't think it's hiding to post anonymously.

Do you have any plans for today? I've got my dgs to babysit and he is going through a really whingy phase at the moment so I'm not actually looking forward to it that much. I'm trying to think of something to do with him but he is a challenge to keep occupied!

Hi JT. After everything you've been through, I wouldn't be surprised if you get a bit of a bug as you're going to be a bit run down. Last thing you need though I bet Hoping you feel a bit better later today.

Just wanted to add my hugs to the list. I've avoided reading this thread cos I get so angry about rape. I just want you to know that you have my prayers and my thoughts. I think you are incredibly brave and I know that you will continue to be. You have some good friends. Continue to lean on them. I wish I knew what to say, how to help etc. Just know that I'm thinking of you today.
