I need some advice 🥺

I showed my therapist the conversation I had with the guy that groomed me and my friends. And the conversation my friend sent me.. I also told her about what he did..

Now, she asked if I’ve ever reported him, I said no, she then said that we’ll talk more about it next week, but that reporting him is an option, and specially since I have evidence..

I’ve never seen it as an option, cause it’s so long ago, and the thought of talking to the police literally gives me anxiety..

Also.. He has a kid now. What if I report and that ruins her life? And what if he’s changed, and actually is a good person now and then I ruin that. Aaaaand he’s tried to kill himself 7 times, one of them he blamed me for, what if he does it and it’s my fault..

My head is spinning..

And what can they even do?

That’s retribution and doesn’t help anything. Now if he’s an active sexual predator then sure, but no prosecutor is going to touch that case

@TexChik I'm not sure if he is, but it's not that long ago that he told my friend that if he could turn back time he would go back to do it all over again. And when she mentioned that he gave alcohol to kids, he laughed and said that he got something at least.. I'm worried about him having a daughter and working with kids, but maybe people can change..

@SW-User you going back there is only going to insure your ptsd becomes more active . I would avoid that like the plague . This is about you feeling better .
