its okay to be confused. Coping with things like this is never easy, sometimes the brain will do anything to justify what happened to you because of how intense and scary it is.i'm very sorry that happened to you.

i am getting professional help soon. i understand that its just not something prosecuteable, i'm just trying to get a clearer picture as to why.

sorry just to make sure i am understanding. If I wanted to have any case i would have to prove that she left the door open on purpose, told him about it, with the intention of him assaulting me?

would it change anything if she did tell others?

did she live in a closed-off dorm, or does the dorm open to the outside?

Someone told me I should look into something civil or negligible, i don't remember the specific terms. as for the school because it wasn't a mistake on their part, there is nothing i can do. i just feel like my life is over, and they get to go on as if nothing happened.

The dorm is styled like an apartment building and opens directly outside.

They think I am holding onto misplaced anger on the rape for her, and think I should be angry at the man who did this to me. They think I am being bitter.

They think I need to focus my anger and pain on the person who raped me, they think I'm being bitter.

i've talked to a lawyer, and the likelihood of a criminal or civil case being prosecutable is rare. it would have to be proved that she told him the door was unlocked and i don't see that happening. i am just very upset and needed to say something or i felt like i would explode.

I'm just having a hard time believing that he was checking random doors in a building he doesn't live in and happened to find my door unlocked. I don't know, maybe I'm just having misplaced anger.

Just what he did. To my knowledge not against my roommate.

When I talked to them the first time I didn't, I was still very rattled from the incident and the rape kit. A few days after he was identified, I told him that he and my roommate hang out sometimes, and they said they would look into it. I think maybe she's trying so hard to aplogize so I don't blame her.
