Thanks! I just reread over my initial post and I apologize for the obscene language. I just needed a place to vent my frustration uninhibited. I appreciate the kinds words and advice. Unfortunately this experience really did a lot of damage to my sense of trust and confidence in people but I...

Thanks cherry blossom! The reason why I assume people think it's weird is because my tells me that. Whenever I bring it up to her she tells me it's weird and that people don't really care so I shouldn't tell them. I think it's her way of shaming me into silence because of the denial she is...

So my first counselor basically ruined my entire therapy process because I don't think I can EVER trust a therapist after this. I got pregnant when I was 19 and went to live in a maternity home and part of the program was that we received free "counseling" it was almost like we were forced to...

Hi Raj! I normally would not post religious stuff in this forum but since you mentioned being a Christian in your original post I would assume it's appropriate. If not, I truly apologize. My goal is to encourage you and not convince or convert you in anyway. I just want to let you know that...

You're right however I think the context of the relationship also comes into play. If it's a relationship than yes you're right. But in a lot (if not most cases) of rape the person is someone the victim hardly knows or doesn't know at all. In that case no means no. Period.

Oh me too. More often than not. I was simply making a point. One I had to learn the hard way, unfortunately.

I also had a boyfriend who was very controlling and forced me to say "I love you" back whenever he said it. Let me just tell you something... that is NOT love!!!! These men have deeply ingrained phsycological issues. They are fearful and insecure and making other people feel bad about themselves...

Black fox, What happened to you was rape. I know a lot of people don't appreciate such black and white thinking. But in my opinion, as a fellow rape survivor we have to call it what it is for anything to be done about it and for you to get the healing and validation you deserve. I had...

What kind of guy would want to have sex with a girl when she didn't want to at first but finally gave in after him pestering her? Not a good guy in my opinion and certainly not something who cares about you.

Ah I see, that is very helpful. Thank you ❤️ I definitely believe the memories of my grandmother are real unfortunately. She has always had a problem with boundaries and hearing the word "no." She allows her boyfriends to talk about me and my body in a very sexual and disgusting way and is...

Thats interesting. How did you come to the conclusion that it wasn't true? I'm only asking because I have been wrestling with the thought that my grandma molested me as a child also. When I told my therapist her response was "I believe you and if you think that then it probably did happen" I...

It took me a long time to admit that I had been raped by my dad but once I finally admitted it I started telling pretty much everyone that I knew, people that weren't even close friends some people just mere acquaintances. I look back at don't know why I did that and now I feel ashamed that I so...

Sorry I don't know if that was meant to me or not haha i am new at this...

Thank you so much and no I didn't

I am not a therapist or an expert in trauma by any means. But I was raped by my dad at age 17 and again at age 19. In my opinion he absolutely did rape you. I don't want to scare you or be insensitive but I know that for myself just knowing that it really did happen and that I wasn't crazy was a...
