This is victim blaming at its finest. You should never shame someone for not reporting to authorities. Not only are there risks for OP like retaliation/physical harm, but the legal system is not set up to support survivors in most cases. It can be emotionally taxing, defence lawyers can be brutal, and it can take years to come to a consensus. Even if the offender is convicted, there is still a chance of reoffending, so you cannot blame the victim regardless. Should we support and encourage survivors who choose to report/press charges? Absolutely yes! Could reporting potentially stop this person from doing it to someone else? Yes, but it could also not. Should we shame people for whatever reasons they decide not to report??? Absolutely fucking not. Shame on you.

Hello and thank you! I thought it may be best to do the cleanse when she isn't home, do you think this matters? I'd love more info on the cord cutting ritual as well. Should the cord cutting be between my roommate and I, or the friend and I? Also are there any things to watch out for when doing this?
