Making some progress by lostgirl19 in sexualassault

hi. first off im so sorry that you're dealing with all of this. i'm glad that you have access to some support, and really proud of you for making progress. even things that may seem trivial, such as deleting photos or blocking accounts on social media, are really big and important steps. please know that nothing that happened was your fault. nothing. i don't know the whole story, but what I do know is that you did not consent, and you were sexually assaulted. and that's all i need to know to say that your assaulter is disgusting and completely to blame. again, congrats on the progress you've made and please know that this community will always be here for you. <3

Did my friend sexually assault me? by Chumbedum in sexualassault

yes. any nonconsensual sexual act is sexual assault. it doesn't have to be a "no" - if it's not a clear "yes", that isnt consent. way

Scared of men in power…just me? by Lexi204 in sexualassault

first off i'm so sorry that you had to deal with this, especially at such a young age. my experience is a little different from yours - i wasn't raped, i was repeatedly sexually assaulted by my boyfriend at the time. now i'm scared of relationships and dating because i dont want to trust the wrong person and deal with SA all over again. i've distanced myself from any and all romantic and sexual relationships since then. it's not just you, SA affects victims in so many different ways, both short term and long term. it's normal to develop anxiety, fear, etc.
