Although I’ve been a member for years, I rarely post. This is mostly because of a constant influx of victimizing incidents, in one form or another, since the 3 unrelated, sexually based crimes I experienced in 2009.These 2009 crimes kicked off severe ptsd, but by now are just some in a pile that became more than I could count.
To give an example, 9 days ago, working in my office around midnight, I heard what I thought were firecrackers from the parking lot. I peaked out to realize it was someone smashing the windows of my car. I intuitively knew he would move from the car to my office windows, so I grabbed my phone and hid while I called 911. I then heard the huge, front windows exploding. The police arrived quickly but did not catch him. After taking the report they left me alone in the office with literally nothing between me/my belongings and the street.
Truthfully, this example is nothing new, it’s just another day in my life since 2009. Notably though, another day without any real justice or help.
After the first attack in 2009, I called 911, and LAPD did not come. They did not come for the following 9 days of calls, until I finally contacted internal affairs, something I learned from TV. Police came, but then refused to take a report. At the time I didn’t know any better and believed them when they said it was too late.
I also lost the case with the medical licensing board, when in 2009, my gynecologist, attacked me during a visit, harming me so badly, I required 10 hours of surgery to repair the damage….
I’m fed up. There’s much I can’t do anything about, but there are some incidents in the pile where I can still take action. So, I am researching and planning the actions I will take.
So here’s my question:
What part, if any, has justice played a role for other victims? Did it aid in restoring a sense of control, healing, faith in others?
To anyone successful, how did you get justice? What aspect of the process was the most crucial towards your healing?
Thanks for your thought on this matter!!!
