Hello, I'm A Rape Victim.

[ChefRayRay]

I've been sexually assaulted and abused, stalked, and raped ever since childhood. By friends and family members. It was never a stranger in the dark. It was always someone that I had trusted and felt comfortable with.

I have recently learned that my 11 year old son is the result of when I was raped. I still feel the same toward my son. I've never regretted having him, but I never really got past things and learning the truth about how my son was conceived, has caused everything to flare up for me again. I've been in and out of counseling, but it hasn't done much. It's only made me feel like a failure. I think I have PTSD.

Welcome to the forum! You are one strong woman! I think that you have come to the right place to get support and love. Keep strong and know that this too shall pass. It may not be today, tomorrow, or in the next year, but it will happen. :hug:

Hi and welcome,
I would suggest that if you think you have PTSD then you should see a professional to give you the official diagnosis. You can then start therapy for it and improve things for yourself without a doubt
