What's worse than rape?

I thought that being held down for an hour by someone you trust and have them rape in every way there is to rape someone would be the worst thing in the world that could ever happen. But that was the easy part. The worse thing is when you gather the strength to tell those close to you, trying to tell them in the most delicate way so they don't hurt too from hearing you say what no love one wants to hear "He raped me". But then instead of the comfort, love & support you need. They turn and give their back, figuratively and literally. In that moment, that feeling, that pain, that betrayal and that realization that you'll have to try & cope alone. Is a pain worse than a hundred rapes. At that moment you don't think life can get much worse. But then he finds out no one really cares about what he did to you, no one has confronted him, asked him, or came to arrest him. So he knows your weak and even more vulernable than you were before. He knows you don't have the strength to tell strangers now because when you told those that were suppose to loved you, they didn't listen. So he knows you won't go to the police, get a rape kit, wrote and statement, and testify in court that he stole you body and half of your soul. They might as well have given him a "rape her again" free pass. And when you realize after the second time their may be a third or forth... you ask god why he hates you and what can you do to undo that hate. You wish their was one person who could love you enough to care what you were suffering through. Rape is a walk on the park compared to the loneliness it causes afterwards you because those closest to you don't want to deal with it. If I'd known l was fighting for the people l love, the guy l loved, the girl l thought was my best friend, instead of just my body. I think l would be fought a lot harder, even it that was impossible.

I wasn't actually asking "what is worse?" I was using it as a explaining point of my experience. I know there are things worse than just someone raping me.

  • Dear anonymous,
    I think you're strong, you've shouldered this trauma all on your own when you should have support from those who love you. Don't give up, there will be brighter days. There will be darker days. But guess what, there will be days. Days you will get the opportunity to face life, take control & say to hell with the bastard who thought he could not only steal my body but steal my mind & my spirit. Use that as a tool, remind yourself not of the lack of support you're experiencing, rather how tough you are. How you're not gonna let him or anyone else's disregard for your well being burn out your light within

    • I know this isn't something you just immediately get past, but get angry! Get furious, break something, drive out on a backroad and scream obscenities at the top of your lungs until you can't breathe. & then breathe, when you feel that air hit your lungs remind yourself you are not a rape. You are an individual with the potential to live past a horrific tragedy & rise above it. Fuck any person who turned their back on you, they can be forgiven when you heal. Until then. I'm here. & I'll listen to you talk whenever you need to. Everyone needs someone. & I don't know you from Adam, but I will be your someone. ❤️

    • You are an awesome kind person. Thank you!

    • You're welcome honey. I mean it. I had a lot to shoulder myself at one point and I could've used a someone. ❤️

  • I honestly don't think there's anything worse than having to go through something like that. I'm so sorry you had to experience that. I know I wouldn't be able to handle the aftermath of it all, it would just be too much.

  • Death
    Sorry to hear, been through that
    both "date" type
    + knocked out type
    but my guy gives me great sex now and I love it

    • Update: I understand Those victims I know, including self often not only recover, they are VERY active in sex when finding a loving partner that cares for them, often much more active than pedestrians and much more fulfilling in the end... life is nothing if not IRONIC, eh?
