Oh my gosh, that is horrible. I'm so sorry.

It's not surprising to me that someone who would sexually assault someone is also someone who would tell a bunch of LIES...I'm sorry he's still hurting you in this way.

For me, one of the worst parts of being raped was the after-effects...the fact that he had so much power over me for so many years after the assault itself was over. It was like he had taken away my power and I was never going to get it back..

BUT, that is the one thing I have really, truly worked through in therapy from beginning to end. It wasn't easy, and it wasn't quick, but it is such a relief that he doesn't have that power over me anymore. It was worth every excruciating minute of work in therapy.

You WILL get there too, angel. Let T help you. I hope you will call her on Monday. Be extra gentle with you, okay?
