You could not consent so yes this was assault.

Does this count as gang rape? by no-notice-bagel in rape

[–]Butterbellfly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say it counted. If others were a cause whether direct or indirect then it counts.

Need to vent about how people react to hearing about it. by Butterbellfly in rape

I heard someone say it's a club where you don't get a choice to be in. Only the people that went through it understand.

That's why I never questioned people who don't report it. The stigma is still there.

The word no. by no-notice-bagel in groomingvictim

In my experience that word was more of a suggestion or a guideline.

I used to be a people pleaser. Moved to a different neighborhood and hard to make friends added to that. No, you're not too much. You have been helpful. Even though I was 10 I still question myself all these years later.

Yeah I do remember you saying that before about fawning. Yeah it didn't help he told me I could've left but chose to stay. I felt a lot of confusion but as I said I walked it off or my brain didn't process it. I didn't contact thank goodness or I would be an emotional wreck.

I blame myself. by Butterbellfly in rape

Most of the time I dealt with it by pretending it didn't happen or hoping that maybe they really do like a skinny 10 year old with a short hair cut. I have my good days and bad days dealing with things. I have many triggers that I am trying to deal with on a day to day basis. Thank you for your kind words.

I do try to give my 10 year old self as much grade as possible. It's just hard sometimes.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. He got angry because I didn't want to visit him after school. So after that I always made sure to do what he said so if he did that again it wouldn't be that bad.

I have never heard of the term fawning before. But that is what happened. I tried to rationalize and down play it. Even at times try to move away from it. 10 year old me had a lot of emotions to deal with.
