Hi,

Do you have regrets on how you responded to any abuse? Wish I had done this or done that?

(Trigger) I have been abuse various times over my life. And in my twenties I had two instances of sexual assault. The last time this was years ago now. I had met this guy from a dating site and he had come over to my house and my mom had met him. He and I had talked through texting various times before meeting, and I had made it clear, I was just wanting to be his friend, for now. Well, he and I ended up trying to watching a movie. Well he didn’t come over to want to watch just a movie. The guy didn’t stop when I told him no and stop, I kept pushing him away. Anyway, this was the only time we had met and the last time we saw each other. I had walked him upstairs after the movie, and as he was leaving out the door, I gave him a hug. I have no idea why I did that, this was a stranger to me. Why would I give someone like that a hug?

I wish I had said something or called and reported him because I could have saved someone else from getting hurt.
