I also don't want you to feel like it's too late to do anything now. It isn't. The people you need to see know that very often trauma survivors - and that would be you - are in shock and don't react right away. The brain sometimes shuts down a bit as a protective measure. After a while things switch back on, and then the survivor will be better able to take definitive action.

So please, don't sit there and think OMG, I can't go to the police/hospital NOW, too much time has passed and they'll laugh at me. No they won't.

You might have internal bruising. A visit to the hospital would document it, further shoring up your assertion that this was against your will.

Oh WM, I just saw this. I am so very sorry this happened to you.

Please get help. It isn't your fault.

(((WM)))

(((((Wm))))))

This was so wrong. Please find someone safe to be with. This is not the time to be alone even if that is a first instinct. Please call and leave a msg at your doctors office to see him or her ASAP.

When I was assaulted my mind kept trying to think of what I shlould have done. It's not your fault. You didn't deserve this treatment. This was a crime. Report it as soon as you can. Criminals count on women's shame to hide their crimes.

Please get someone to take care of you as soon as you can.

((((((((Wm))))))))))))

Oh, WM--I'm so sorry. You were raped. Please go to the ER and the police. It may be a small town but there are privacy laws just as everywhere else. More importantly, you will find that you are NOT judged, but rather, supported. And you need this support.

I understand the embarrassment and fear and confusion. I really do. But in my experience, opening up about allows healing to begin.

Do you have a good IC? If nothing else, please consider calling an ER in your area to get contact info for your local rape victim advocates. They help. A lot.

I just saw this WM. I am so sorry this happened to you. Please follow through with your EAP and with reporting this. You need to find peace by taking some of the control back.

You asked for men's opinions so I am going to be rather blunt- NO MEANS NO. Period. End of story. No qualifications. No excuses. I'm sorry for being so forward with my opinion but, he raped you.

Please get to a hospital and get checked out. Please file a police report and start the process of removing this dangerous POS from society.

Above all, please take care of yourself and remember that we all care for you, support you and are here for you.

This is not your fault. You did nothing to deserve any of his shitty actions. No means no, you were assaulted. Nothing he did was normal or acceptable.

I understand the feeling of shame that makes you want to keep silent and pretend it never happened. I was raped as a 12 year old and only recently told my mother. I found incredible freedom from the shame from talking about it and seeking support. YOU have nothing to be ashamed of.

It is also entirely up to you how you wish to proceed. You decide what is best and healthiest for you.

((((((Williesmom))))))

(Williesmom). I'm so sorry. Violation it can consume you slowly. Back in 1993 I was 18. I had a bad break up and went out with some friends to try and drink my problems away. 18 not 21 and so stupid. I got really drunk and passed out. When I woke up one of my friends was inside me. I begged him to not do this but he wouldn't stop. He kept telling me he thought I was beautiful that he had wanted me for years. I just cried and asked him to stop I tried squirming away. I finally begged him to put on a condom to him this was consent. I didn't stop crying I threw up. Someone showed up he got off me I called one of my friends who picked me up carried me to the car and took me home. I didn't go to the police. He told me I asked for the condom, I wasn't a virgin, I was drinking under age it was my fault. I believed him. The only other person I had been with I dated for 2 years not a drunk hook up. I thought he was right my family wouldn't understand, I felt guilty and I did nothing. To this day my family doesn't know. He did the same thing a month later to a girl a year younger than me. She tried to kill herself and left a note detailing what happened. If I had the courage to go to the police she would have been spared. The regret of what happened to her I live with every single day. I didn't want everyone judging me. I didn't want my parents to know I had sex, and drank. I was selfish and someone else got hurt. In the end her family beat the shit out of the guy and she didn't go to the police because her family would have been prosecuted for the beating. He got off twice. After that everyone knew his game. He bought a house down the street from my mom so I see him sometimes. His son is the same age as my daughter. We are putting her at a different high school so they won't be together. I wish I would have done something reported him. Please consider calling the police. Make sure he knows what he did was wrong and that he doesn't get to do it again. You don't want the regret I live with. I understand just wanting to stay home and cry. It's what I did for a month. Regret is the hardest thing to live with. Hugs (Williesmom). You are not alone.

Oh, WilliesMom, I'm so sorry you had to endure that. It's good that you can come here with it, but I believe you need more than SI can provide. Please consider the advice given here to stop this criminal. I'm worried about you; your health, your state of mind and your physical safety since he knows where you live.

(((((WM)))))

Not much to say other than I want to drive up to you and give you a giant hug and punch the living shit out of him.

You story scares the crap out of me. All of us women have either had something like this happen or have been in a situation that could have gone badly. You did NOTHING wrong. This is all on him. I've been with many guys (gosh that sounds horrible) that have listened to my boundaries, even young, even drinking. Good, decent guys know what no means. That guy was a shit.

Williesmom I am so sorry.

This isn't your fault. You aren't bad or wrong. You didn't ask for it. You didn't invite it. You didn't cause it. It happened to you and that is a horrible thing. A horrible, unjust, unfair and inhumane thing done TO you. Please do not own one bit of the sick and WRONG actions of this abusive loser. Please be kind to yourself. We are all here for you.

(((((williesmom))))

I'm so sorry this happened to you williesmom. You did not deserve it, nothing you did caused him to rape you. No means no.

Please take care of yourself. Know you are loved and special to all of us on SI.

This guy is a monster.

First and foremost, get yourself checked out... your well-being, both physically and emotionally, is the most important thing.

Please contact the police. This guy deserves to be nailed to the wall by his junk for this sickening behavior. He's a waste of genetic material, and you played absolutely no role in his abuse. None. I'm so very sorry.

(((((WM)))))

This "guy" is a total POS!

Make sure you have someone close that can protect you in case he comes back. Tell the cops what happened and if he comes near your house call them.

Its called rape and he needs treated.......well lets just say an "eye for an eye".

I am so sorry. Prayers sent, WM.

I woke up this morning wondering how you were doing today. (((hugs))) and (((more hugs)))

Everybody gave you good advice.

This loser needs the crap beaten out of him. I am sure he has done it to others.

Do you have some male friends that aren't scared to beat the living shit out of him?

Do you know where he lives or goes out at night?

He needs a sack party. Get some big dudes to throw a sack over his head so he can't see and then they beat the living crap out of him and tell him if he ever rapes another person he will have more of the same.

Personally, I would probably hunt him down and poison his food but that's just me.

I know you should not repay evil with evil but dam, you would be doing society a favor.

WM, I'm ready when ever needed...like shiloe said. No sack for me though, I want to look the sob in the eye...the one he has left open and not swollen shut.

guys like this make me wanna

((((Williesmom))))

Everyone has given you great advice. I hope you've talked to someone in real life about this.

You didn't do anything wrong. What a POS!

Just thinking of you and praying for peace for you. I am so sorry this happened to you.

I wish your corgis had chewed his nuts off.
