I just found out my abuser admitted to it… this is a relief because I thought once the detectives asked me if I was comfortable with calling him and faking restarting our relationship and I said no because I wasn’t comfortable I thought it would end there because once they would go to his house he would deny everything. I was informed that detectives are very good at interrogating and he ended up admitting to it. This is A HUGE relief. I thought our justice system was trash, mind you I was 16-17 in 5 almost 6 month “relationship” with a 31 year old abusive man. Now I just turned 18 early June and I thought all hope was lost to get justice. At the end of July it’ll mark the day I left him, he abused me sexually emotionally and even at times physically. My ptsd has now given me nightmares and I smoked weed with him a lot, now I quit 8 months ago due to psychosis because of cannabis induced psychosis that the PTSD heightened. I just smelled cannabis that I used to love the smell of and now I hate the smell, it also gave me flashbacks and a headache. Now I’m learning that weed isn’t as harmless as I thought and I’m so grateful to have survived my psychosis episode, no medication needed I just needed to stop smoking. Now I can testify against him, I’m going to ask if it has to be in the same room as him because that’ll make me very uncomfortable. Hopefully I don’t have to testify in the same room but if I do have to I’ll still do it because I choose justice since Im blessed to have the possibility to have it. Anyway thank you for
hearing my rant. Last edited by Superpower; Jul 17, 2024 at 11:06 PM.. |

So sorry that you've been through all that you have with this abusive man. Wishing you the best on your healing journey.
Do you have a lawyer who can prep you before testifying? Are there other people who have suffered from his abuse who will also be testifying? |

My lawyers going to get in contact with me soon, I think I’m the first I don’t think others will be testifying. I thought I deleted most of the proof of our situation but I recently found a lot of voice mails from him in the deleted folder. Even a 3 minute long one where I had finally escaped and he was harassing me to come back. I haven’t listened to them to not trigger myself but I’ll bring that up to the lawyer to see if it can be evidence. Thank you

It's good to hear you have a legal team helping you.
Yes, best not to listen to the message now, but pass it on to the lawyers. Take extra good care of yourself: you're worth it!! |
