My life literally was turned upside down on Wednesday night.
My drink was spiked when I was in a club and I was beaten and raped twice by someone I knew and trusted. The only reason I got away is because the neighbour heard my screams and I managed to sneak out when he fell asleep in the other room. The police found me on the street when I was running away. Ever since I've been in and out of police stations and hospitals. The guy is remanded for now but I'm not sure if he'll be released before trial. The evidence is really strong and the case looks good but I'm still very nervous. This has just put everything in perspective for me, things that seemed such a big deal before seem so pointless now. Luckily most of my injuries are superficial but I've had to get stitches on my foot because I 'degloved' my big toe as I was running away. My head is just crazy right now - partly I feel disgusting and dirty, partly feeling like somehow this is my fault, partly feeling sorry for the guy being locked up (WTF?!) and partly want to beat him with a baseball bat. I want to talk to him, I want him to tell me why he did this to me but I know there's no point in that. I've just totally lost my trust in people which is sad because before I was the most trusting (although verging on naive) person ever. Life goes on though, I'm just lucky I'm here. I'm just scared for the trial, I know rape trials are tricky but the police said they've not seen a case with as much evidence before and there are two witnesses which is very rare plus medical exams and the blood all over his apartment is kinda proof. I'll let everyone know how things go.
it's not your fault honey. a vile, poor excuse of a human being has violated you in a way that unless you've been through it, is unimaginable...!!! my deepest sympathy, love and support goes out to you. surround yourself with family and people that truly love you. maybe when you are ready, find a counsellor who deals with victims of rape and a support group as well. again, i'm so sorry this has happened to you...rape is a cowardly act done by cowardly people
