Guest Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I was raped when I was thirteen by my aunts husband.I never told anyone until about three years ago my aunt and her husband seperated and I finally felt safe to tell her well I did but she still took her husband back.Well not long after I told my aunt my mom found out and we went to the police and nothing has been done yet I'm trying to deal with that.My grandmother passed away last june me and her were very close and her death upset me to the point that I started having recuring dreams about that night. You see I blocked what happen to me out so these dreams are really upsetting and I would really like to talk to someone about it who has been through the same thing.I talk to my boyfriend about it but all he can do is try his best to console me but it upsets him to see me cry. If you have any suggestions please fill me in I'm so confused. Link to post Share on other sites
tinktronik Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 talk to your mom about seeing a counselor or therapist . It may help to have a place you can go to talk about this also there are rape hotlines ( not sure of the number ) but if you search around Im sure they can be found. Why havent the police done anything? Im sorry that your aunt has entered back into this situation , but its good that your mom now knows .Talk to your mom . Link to post Share on other sites
blind_otter Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Yep. Therapist. There may be support groups in your area, check out the non-profit website http://www.rainn.org (rape, abuse, incest national network). I'm having a tough day and can't discuss thing any deeper than that, but I wanted to let you know that info....I wish I could help more, I'm just going through it today...

inertia_creeps Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 The first thing to remember through your difficult time is that this was not your fault. At 13 you are not a fully developed human being yet - emotionally and physically - for somone who is much older than you to do what they did is profoundly wrong. You need to speak to your mum as this coming out will no doubt create stress within the family, however that does not mean that you have to go it alone. You will need to be strong and do everything you can to make sure the abuser is made responsible for what he did - as painful as it is for you to do this - he may do it again to someone else. There are always people here willing to talk to you if it becomes too much, try to remember that. x Link to post Share on other sites
SoleMate Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Yes, please find a counselor or a support group for survivors of sexual assault. Your mother and bf can provide love and comfort, but they may not have the skills to really address all your issues. Please accept my sympathy and wishes for you to feel less pain.
