I'm so sorry U2 - That is freakin terrifying. I am so glad you made it out alive and are here with us.
O/T: I too was raped but was very young, only five years old. My older brothers and I went to play hide & go seek in the woods behind our house. An older boy wanted to play so my brothers let him join in the game as they knew him, I did not. He said "she can come with me" as I was the youngest and only girl playing. We went to hide far in the woods and he raped me. I have no memory of what happened immediately afterwards. All I recall is that I ran home and changed clothes as I knew I would get in trouble for being dirty. (My parents were not home) That night when I tried to sleep I started screaming and crying. I tried to tell my mom what happened but I couldn't explain it - I didn't have the words to describe it and she was not a compassionate person anyway. She told me to forget it - it was a bad thing that happened but pretend it never happened. I took her advice as I knew not to test her. I apparently have PTSD from the rape as I remember just a very few things from that awful date until I turned 17. My mom had the doctor put me on tranquilizers ar that age which caused me to become a full blown prescription drug addict up until about 8 years ago.
Anyway, sorry to go off topic but I wanted you to know that I sort of can relate to what you shared. Thank you for that - I am so glad you made it. I am thankful you are here!
