Just recently got discharged from the US Army (to hopefully get my full US citizenship and be with my girl here). I've got to see my girlfriend again after 4 years of active duty but I didn't really talk to her much or even told her any of my experiences during my military service because I'm too humiliated to even think about telling this to my girlfriend.

I don't know if this is any relevant to my question and trouble but me and my girlfriend come from a Latin American background (I'm a Native-Born Mexican and my girlfriend is a US-born Mexican), where gender roles are enforced and the men are looked down upon if they were r@ped or m0lested, since it's a sign of weakness for a man in Latino cultures and usually in a lot of Latin American countries, much less people seem to report their child s3xual abuse or r@pe due to this culture. I wouldn't doubt that here in the US, men who are r@ped or m0lested, are looked at as a laughing emasculated stock.

I might as well just leave a goodbye note to my girlfriend because of this traumatizing and humiliating experience I had. Even had suicidal thoughts over this.
