@Bill3, I honestly believe if he committed an offence against me he would turn himself in, and yes. I certainly wouldn't leave him a available to go on and hurt anyone else.

@rose1985, I am also a rape survivor, and if you had asked me a year ago, I would have said the same thing. Any of my close friends would tell you a have very little faith in people. And trust is an issue for both of us anyway, so it will take a lot on conscious work to fix that.

One of the reasons I have found this place so interesting is many of the stories I have read, just confirm this belief. But then I look at the people writing the story not just the content of the story itself and am reminded that there are so many people out there that want help to change, to be better, to not hurt their friends and loved ones and I find that things kind of balance out.
