Sexual Assault Are Some People More Prone To Being Sexually Assulted

There's the whole screwing up of who we choose to trust, that comes as part of the c-ptsd package deal

Yes @Anarchy . maybe that's part of self-blame.

Thank you.

Ps, I was just saying to someone the other day, we can't (as people) continue, either, to treat the trustworhy people / person(s) as the same (other) qualities, if they've never done the same (negative) things.

But boy, it's difficult. :(

I had so much disregard for myself and not the slightest idea how to effectively communicate that I would be out - drink too much - and end up in all sorts of places with who knows who. I knew I was horrible for allowing things to happen. I didn't remember plenty and would find myself left with multiple bruises and bleeding. I didn't really ever say no except for early in the night when I wasn't drinking. I know I also was given a date rape drug at least once. I was told by men that I liked being raped. I have often wondered why I managed to hook up with men who could have their way with me. I am so embarrassed and full of shame for allowing the situations to occur but wouldn't have known how to change it. My childhood set me up for being complacent and to let things happen but somehow after becoming pregnant, I calmed down and stopped being out all night drinking. I think that my lack of boundaries when I was young transferred to being agreeable when I was older and allowing anything to happen. Now I am on high alert to not drink much and to have a reliable buddy with me if I go out. Tough stuff!
