Sufferer Grateful, home robbery survivor

[Ayalette]

Two months ago, while at the inside enterence of my home, i was attacked, thrown down sat on top of my back and had a gun put on my neck at base of spine while a desperate man yelled at me to give him what was perceived to him as valuable-
I directed him to the belongings that he wanted but he looked in the wrong place and then yelled with the gun lodged in to me to "don't f*cking lied to me"
At that point my bladder released itself- something I never have experienced before and I calmly told him to look in the direction where he would find what he wanted. I have not been the same since. He took away a lot more than what he ran with

I am so sorry that this happened to you. How frightening. Have you talked with a therapist at all about this? Take sweet care of yourself.

How horrifying! Did the police hook you up with a trauma person who gives you info on counselling?

I'm so glad you survived! You can get better and move on.

I'm glad you survived.
Frankly I'm amazed at the compassion you're showing the assailant.
Keep fighting the good fight.

Having a gun held to your flesh can be very frightening. I've never been robbed (thankfully) but my abusive ex would do shit like that to me - pointing guns at me, holding them up against me - all while he was suicidal, and after he began to threaten to kill me.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. You did the right thing and did what you needed to survive, good on you for pulling through that.

I'm lucky to be alive. I would like to be grateful one day. I hope your healing journey goes well.
