((( Jennifer )))
Have you seen a rape councelor? What is your T and P-doc saying? They should have just as big of a part (if not bigger) getting you through this then a lawyer.
But, the lawyer is right when she says,
Well then also she said there is a high probability that this case would be made public and there would be alot fo publicity.
A lot of publicity is one thing, but a witch hunt is another. You need to be prepared for the fall out and the chance that after all is said and done, the case is thrown out.
This is from your other post. What this idiot in the ER did is nothing compared to what the defense will do.
------------------
"Well I had yet another bad ER visit. I have had this same PA a few times and well he has personal issues with me. This time was the worst he has treated me. He lied in my ER report several times. First he started off by saying I had bizzarre behavior and then I was delusional."
And this
"But then the in the report it went on to say that my injury I got 12 weeks ago was in fact self inflicted. Which is completely not true, because I was assaulted 12 weeks ago and had to have surgery for it and was bleeding really bad. He then went on that I had allegedly reported that I was raped."
"But I know that is not true. But still the feeling is very strong and well it is not a good feeling to have.
It is just difficult to have someone, especially a professional, that you are the one who hurt yourself and that you are just lying about what happened. I am very upset over this whole incident"
-------------------
These things will most definetly come into that court room.
Your mental state as well as your diagnosis will too.
Only you can make this decision Jennifer, and I'm sorry it's such a tough one.
