I'm so glad that you are in therapy and I'm so glad that you told your therapist. Please continue to work with your therapist on this okay? Have you told your therapist that you are afraid about your present bf? (The best place to work on this stuff is in therapy).

Sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear that this happened to you. You have already taken all the right steps towards recovery from what happened to you by telling your therapist. Like everyone else said don't feel like you are weird because you are scared of your current boyfriend. It is very common for you to be fearful of men or people in general after you are raped. You are doing all the right steps just keep talking to your therapist about it!
