Well today I went and talked with an attorney. She actually was rather sincere and nice. I think it helped that she was female also. Well and she told me that she had gone through similar experiences as well. So that helped me to know that she is probably real about the seriousness of this. Well she said there is probably some problems with the case. She said that for one, he gets SSI so I probably will not get anything out of it, which I'm not even hoping for money anyway. Two, there is no way to prove that this was actually forced and not concentual. But the big kick of all, it's because I have mental illness. She also wants me to even consider if I want to pursue this anymore. She though understood why I would want to. She said that for a fact I would have to testify, so that would be hard, though I had thought about that before. Actually I thought I had to when it was a criminal case. But since nothing was really done criminally, I am taking it civally. I really need this I think, for me and for my own healing, as well as Jenny's and all th rest of us. Well then also she said there is a high probability that this case would be made public and there would be alot fo publicity. She is worried about that for me. It was actually already brough to my attention before I decided I would take this further. Though I think I need to do everything I can for myself and know that I did all that I could. Well what is your opinion?

I don't know the answer to that. I think you have to weigh the pros and cons for you specifically. But I wanted you to know that we are here to support you in whatever decision you make. Please take care of yourself.

Thank you I just really am looking for answers and I actually hate making decisions on my own without others opinions. I am still learning the ways of life and well it's just plain difficult for me to see what's right, especially right now. well I just thought I would put in the question and see what came of it. Thank you though for being honest and I understand why you didn't answer, it's a hard thing to do. Well thanks.

((((((((((((((((((((((((Jennifer)))))))))))))))))))))))) I am sorry that I didn't answer earlier but I really was not sure what to say other than what I would do and I didn't think that was appropriate as it really wasn't my decision but yours. I think it is very personal and what you can withstand. I think it could get very ugly and trying for you. Do you think you are up to it? What is your motivation? I am afraid everything about you will come out. Everything in your life not jut this one incident. Are you prepared for that. I guess I really don't know but it may even seem that you are on trial is that ok with you? I could be all wrong about this and your attorney is much more qualified than I so I would ask her more questions than I could ever think about giving you answers. Anyway, I don't think I would be up to the task; but then again I want to stress that is me not you. I feel bad that you feel neglected but this is why I was reluctant to respond. Good luck with your decision as it is a difficult one and one I hope you don't regret later. Very special hugs (((((((((((((((((((((((Jennifer)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
