@Justmehere He's scared, do you blame him? I'm willing to help him in any way I can, he didn't force me. He's gotten nothing but bad responses before. As they say around here, the internet isn't a safe place. At least this way he has a barrier between him and possible hostility. He was pretty...

Ugh, I've gotten that a lot. Made me stop trying to reach out about it.

I mentioned in another thread that I told a couple online friends about my joining here, and they asked me to post for them. This one is a rape victim, so I'm putting it here. I hope it's alright if I post for him. He wanted to go by Ben. He was too scared to join, because he's never been able...

@Friday Alright, I see what you mean. I misunderstood you at first, it came off more as policing at first. Thanks for explaining.

I do my best to escape, yeah. Though the last pet I got, a sweet little ball python, he offered to kill it every day with a huge grin on his face until it finally died of illness (he caught it from the other snakes at the place I got him). I can't do anything in front of him, either, and I...

@scout86 By all means I'd love to hear that rant. I can't have it myself so if you want to do it for me... I wouldn't complain.

@scout86 No, it's not fair, but fairness isn't really a factor in it.

@Friday I'm new, so I'm not sure if it's my place to say this, but I will anyway. The definition of sexual assault that I've heard is any kind of sexual interaction that is unwanted (not just genital contact), even if you don't tell the assaulter it's unwanted. But I'm not sure how this forum...

I didn't even really consider this for a long time until I was reading some of the threads around here about abusive fathers. I was an orphan, I have adoptive parents. I don't think that really changes anything, but I thought it was worth mentioning. My Mother has always been wonderful and I...

I'm fairly certain I'm not allowed to say this, so I'll say I'm glad I can be anonymous here. I'm under orders. I can't go into further detail than that. Thanks for your concern anyway. When I say I can't bring myself to talk about the event, I mean to the other people who were there. Otherwise...

You're way stronger than I am. I know you're a stranger but I'm still proud of you anyway.

Given it sounds like you're genuinely scared, I wouldn't think you made it up. I know it's easy to think that, and I doubt my own memories pretty often. I think that's natural... trauma isn't really a normal thing to go through, so of course we question ourselves. I think that's just to be...

@Freida Thank you. I haven't tried a vet center, I haven't been around other soldiers who were deployed since I came back, and I don't really want to be around others like me in person again. I guess I'm worried it will make it too real again. It's easier online, where I can be anonymous. Maybe...

Thanks for the welcome Eve. And thanks for the thoughts and advice Ken. I could use some.

Hello everyone. I'm Roy. I served in the military in the past. I won't say the branch, and I won't go into detail. But I was given some questionable orders. As a result I did some questionable things. I've never gotten past it. I fake it pretty well, but I've never really been comfortable with...
