I have posted this a few times and I'm not recieving any replies but please someone help me. I'm feeling completely hopeless.

I was recently in an abusive relationship that I am now out of. The break up was difficult as he turned it all around on me saying I was 'making something out of nothing' and that I was 'pathetic'. I want to be able to move on from this but I can't seem to get over one night. I'm not sure whether or not he raped me. I haven't been able to eat or sleep properly now for 6 months and I am constantly on edge. If I am out and doing things I am fine but as soon as I am alone I feel hopeless and can't stop thinking about it. I apologise for the graphic description I am about to give to you but I feel it is needed to know what really happened and what it is classed as.

Well we went to the pub and drunk a bit, I was extremely drunk and pretty much unable to stand. When we got back I went to bed and he came in and I kissed him, he then threw me back on the bed and flipped me onto my front (he was a big guy and being drunk made me feel like he was just throwing me around like a ragdoll) and then he really violently had sex with me pinning my arms back and he hit me etc. I clearly wasn't enjoying it but I never said no. Then he like put me on my back and ejaculated on my face. At this point I started crying and I had a panic attack, to which he got really angry about and was shouting at me 'WHAT IS WRONG WHY ARE YOU CRYING' but as I was breathing funny I couldn't reply. After he apologised and said 'I got angry because I thought I hurt you and I thought you were being a drunk idiot and not telling me and it frustrated me' so we just led in bed and hugged and he got me some tissues and I calmed down. The next day as well I was clearly very distant and jumpy and he almost chose to ignore it. He did apologise and said 'maybe I was too rough I won't do it again' but I cannot get it out of my head and feel I can't move on until I have closure.

Thank you.

How very distressing for you - I do hope that you will be able to get some help and support from all these sensible suggestions. Maybe drink is not for you perhaps - you will feel more in control of situations if you drink in moderation. After a point enjoying a drink stops being fun and puts you at risk. But that does not put the blame on you. You are not at fault here; the boyfriend who took advantage of you being a bit drunk and not in a position to give consent is the perpetrator here.

It must be very distressing that someone you trusted and felt you loved has treated you in this appalling way. But do not let this put you off men for good - there are some lovely fellas out there - you have just been unlucky. There will be the right person out there for you one day.

You WILL be able to put this behind you with the right help, although it probably does not feel like that at the moment. Many women have done so and been able to lead happy lives with happy relationships. You have had a bad start because of this bad person; I am sure there will be better experiences for you round the corner.
