I Was Molested - and I Never Told

It has always made me feel guilty. Idk I guess maybe I think its my fault somehow. It happened for a long time when I was younger but I never had the nerve to tell anyone. I still wonder if it would have been different if i had.

Sometimes it is better not to say anything

@courtney0380 I totally disagree.

@Montanaman It can be better than being laughed at...

Or

It's definitely better than being sent back to the abusive situation that you first escaped from.

@HootyTheNightOwl i get that. I feel that silence is torture. Being trapped in a forever hell. 🤗

@Montanaman Even if you "do everything right"... the police are reluctant to place you in a place of safety.

If you speak out, they just send you back to the Hell that you came from - how is that any better???

I did everything right... I escaped... I called the police... I told - yet, I'm still in the Hell hole I escaped from that night.

Talking certainly didn't help me when the choice I got was to go back or to go to the town where my abuser lived between the ages of 18 and 38. Yes, he knows that area better than me - and he has friends in that area.

How is this keeping me safe and protected???

@HootyTheNightOwl for that, i am sorry. 🤗
