It's nice to know people care, even if I don't know most of you. I didn't want this post to be a sympathy grabbing, attention seeking post, and it seems like you realised this.

I was raped at 19 and never reported it. It turns out that the guy raped other girls too. Maybe if I had turned him in, he wouldn't have been on the streets to do it to others. I applaud you for having the strength and courage to go to the police. Take care of yourself. If you ever need to talk, drop me a line at bpdokc@yahoo.com or go to my blog at http://bpdokc.blogspot.com and leave me a comment. I’m so very sorry that you had to go through that ordeal.

I did wonder what had happened to you in February and I am sure a lot of others did to. I am so sorry someone who you classed as a friend took advantage of you and did this, it’s no wonder you became so distressed and my thoughts are with you that you find the strength to get over this or at least a way of coping. As for the abuse as a teenager you suffered your honesty is appreciated. I was sexually assaulted as a child when I was about 6 years old. It was only a one off thing by a complete stranger when I was playing out in the backstreet of where I lived. I remember it as though it was yesterday, the involvement of the police and everything. I never talk about it, a few very close friends know about it but I have never mentioned it on my blog but I know it’s something that plays on my mind a lot and is probably a big contributing factor to why I am like I am now. I wanted to discuss it with my GP, the CPN but I was not ready to. My best friend tells me that I shall never put the demons to rest and move on unless I talk it, I think finally this year I am going to but I know making that initial step will be hard. The strange thing is it’s never discussed between me and my parents and I presume they think it’s something I have long since forgotten about but I have not, it’s impossible to put such a traumatic experience out of your head altogether. Thinking of you Ruth, take care. Alison x Ruth your post is both honest and open and I am sure your regular blog readers would appreciate that from you.
