I am still doubting myself that this ever happened. I know something did happen. The fear of the legal system gets to me even more and makes me doubt myself. I guess I still hope it was my imagination? I know it wasn't. Yet every time I think about it, doubt overwhelms me. Is this normal?

Yes, it is normal. I have lots of doubts about whether I am exaggerating, or making things up. But I know that the effects are undeniable. Hang in there and trust yourself.

Thank you for such a quick reply. It's hard to still fully believe it. Every time I have an interaction with law enforcement over it, I just get filled with self-doubt. I guess it still hasn't fully settled with me. I hate all of this.

So sorry. It is hard. Hang in there.

Hi TombE, sounds like the legal system makes you feel intimidated?? But remember that people in it are supposed to be there to help you and get you some kind of justice. They should be there for you, YOU are the important one in all of this. And if you know something happened then something happened, fact!
But you're right, even without the legal system, things can sometimes be hard to completely face. Afterall everything would be SO much easier if.........hadn't happened, so justifiable in wanting to believe that, right? But like you said it is going to be there, it is still going to effect you, it is going to be hitting you when you least expect it even. It happened. So believe in yourself, believe in your right to be helped with this, believe that you deserve to have it addressed!! It happened and you KNOW that it shouldn't have.

Now, if you want to talk about it, you want some support, if we can help in any way.........we're here for you.
