Stuck on what happened New Year's Eve
Intellectually I know that I did nothing wrong. But emotionally is a whole different story. Society, and especially police officers, still place blame with the victim because I didn't fight back, or I didn't scream (my child was asleep in the other room and I did NOT want his attention to go anywhere near her), I just took the cuts (he had a knife), the blows to the head (I had a concussion and they thought he had broken my eye socket.. he didn't but it looked that bad). I didn't report it immediately after it happened (I was unconscious, when I woke up several hours later when my husband came home from work, he called the police). But because I had been drinking earlier that evening (by myself once my child was in bed), I must just have been drunk and had consensual rough sex with this man I did not know and called the cops now because I need a cover story so my husband won't be mad at me. Yes, that's actually what the detective told me. So yeah... I don't trust cops at all anymore. I did everything I was "supposed" to, I called them, gave a report, went to the hospital, had a rape kit done, the whole nine yards only to have them just never do anything with it because I wanted it. This all happened New Year's Eve 2009, so just this past January. I've been in therapy before for rape, because I was raped when I was in high school, and I've been trying to use the tools she gave me then for now, because with no health insurance I can't get any therapy so I haven't fully dealt with what happened to me. To add to it, I ended up getting pregnant from my rape. I later miscarried that baby. I have not processed the pain and emotional fallout from those either, the rape, the beating, the pregnancy or the miscarriage. I know I need someone to talk to but I have nowhere to turn.
