Sexual Assault I Can't Move Past It.

I don't even know If i should be posting on a sexual abuse forum. Sometimes I think I wasn't even abused, that it was all my fault. Not all the time though. I have this on going battle in my head about whether what happened was wrong or right.

If it was all my fault then why do I feel so horrible about it everyday? Why do I feel affected by it three years later. It really has changed my whole life and the person I am.

When I was 16 I started dating a drug dealer ( 20 ) who lived in a different country. I would travel every two months to see him and would spend several weeks with him ( The only reason I didn't live there was because my parents where trying to keep me in school ) . After 6 months of back and fourth I got caught up in serious drinking and drugs. I would go two weeks without being sober. i would drink everyday, smoke pot, take speed and became addicted to prescription medication ( that i bought from other people ) . I just wasn't myself and I lost control for awhile. Lost sight of the good person I was.

Me, my boyfriend and some friends decided to go really hard one night and buy a bottle of bacardi 151. I had told him before that I didn't feel very well ( I never felt well anymore ) and that I would go to bed soon. Me being very foolish and naive I also asked him if i got too drunk to put me too bed. Im a fool for allowing him to look after me.

After that first sip the rest is a huge blank. I don't know if its because I have mentally pushed it away or I was so drunk. I remember asking my boyfriend to have sex with me. I was so close to passing out, I can barely remember it. I felt him take me into the bedroom and have sex with me.

Another blank. I can feel more then one person touching me. It just keeps blanking. I dont know at this point if im passing out or just horrificly drunk

I start to come around. Im not actually in a bedroom with my boyfriend. He is having sex with me infront of a full room of people, and letting his best friend have sex with me aswel. Both taking turns.

I hear him say " Its Ok dude, she said it herself she wants too f*ck. Dont be worried, she's my girlfriend and I'm giving you permission. I wont be angry "

Suddenly a friend at the time is on top of me, kissing me, while the other two continue to have sex with me. I fight them off and pull myself to the floor. My legs wont work and im blanking out. I demand to leave and go home. I can remember walking home but i keep falling over. One of the guys is with me who is not my boyfriend. A car goes past and honks. My entire top half is exposed, i am completely topless. The guy is trying to have sex with me again, on the side of the street. I run as fast as i can home. I wake up with bloody knees and I'm still horribly drunk.

They told me i agreed to it all , but i felt disgusting , and mortified. I felt embarrassed and ashamed. I couldn't stand the thought of those people seeing me naked and i felt invaded.

what if i did ask for it? What if its my own fault that I live in this nightmare.

I despise sex now. I only have one night stands. I can't stand sex in a relationship. It changed my whole world. And i just can't get past it no matter how hard I try. I just can't stop thinking how I caused this whole mess.
 
Hi Seaoflove,

It was not your fault. It is never acceptable to treat somebody the way your so-called friends treated you. You were not capable of consenting, and your boyfriend most certainly did not have the right to consent on your behalf.

Sexual abuse/assault most often leaves the victim with feelings of shame, guilt and embarrassment. That is how they get away with it so often.

It is clearly affecting you still, so I would suggest you owe it to yourself to get professional help with dealing with the memories of that night. No therapist would judge you. You have no need to be ashamed.

Your life could improve if you are able to move on and leave this terrible memory behind.

Best wishes,

They took advantage of you. If you were intoxicated, then you could not legally give consent. don't feel bad just get therapy to heal.:applause:
