oki so monday coming i am locking horns with that man that raped me and fighting him in court and this is my conclusion So far...
guilty or not guilty. . I will continue to be strong, Independent woman that has made it through the storm.
I WILL continue to share my story for the rest of my life and hopefully I will give women strength and courage and support they need to fight back to there attackers. I'm not ashamed of what happened why should I be... and why should you be!! You shouldn't ! You should be a peacock, bright, bold and confident showing off your colours!
Jlt60 your so right about not being ashamed. You shouldn't feel bad. The attacker should be ashamed of himself. I was raped at the age of 14 yrs old. I faced my attacker in court too. I am so proud of you. Stay strong and stand your ground. Please remember we are all here to support you. Good luck and hugs :-)
I don't think ill ever be able to let go... but i can still get my life back and be successful. I know for a fact that I am more stronger than him. I dont have to defeat him physically... I'll do it mentally by showing him he hasn't stopped me having the life that I wanted and being successful! he may have got what he wanted in the end... but ill always be the strong one out of us! Yes I'm scared shitless, but it's his time to feel everything that I have the past 18 months. Going to be hard but i've made it this far. he has done the worst, what more can he do.. spread more lies... we'll ill rise my sword to that and say game on! :-) xx
The fear and adrenaline just seems to make me cry.. but ill keep my head up and troop on. thank you all for being here for me over this horrendous journey!! Xx
My thoughts and prayers are with you today and always! Be strong! I applaud you for standing up for yourself! No matter what happens, I'm here if you need to talk!
jlt60 you go girl! We needed more good examples liked you. Who after a traumatic experience of rape is able to faced their rapist in court. Yes, and locked horns with him, and get Justice! I am so proud of you, that you've come to the conclusion of guilty, or not guilty, you will continued to be Strong, Independent, woman who have made it through the storm! You will continued "to shared your story for the rest of your life."You will continued to gave "women strength, and courage and supported their need to fight back their attackers" . Yes, we women have to be stopped being the victims, yes, and not letting our circumstances defined us, being rape, anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, infidelity, emitional, and physical abuse, and all other health issues etc. We are better than our circumstances, let us fight back! Kudoes to you @jt60 you are an inspiration! Be strong, the best is yet, to followed..... SG friends are here, to support, and be supported. Be Hopeful.
I have to say that I am impressed with you and your attitude. Many can take a lesson here in looking beyond the situation, rather than staying stuck in the sorrow and angst.
I like you and your style. I would love to keep the lines of communication open here with you, because of your positive nature.
Thank you all means alot to me.. we'll why should he have all the good times. . I'd like to think that after court it's my time to shine and he can go sit in the corner!
Think I've just had enough of hiding away and feeling bad, moping.. so now I've fixed myself up got sober and now I'm standing up for myself. I know going to court is going to be hideous and it's going to hit me like a wrecking ball and may take me a while to get back on my feet but at least I can close that chapter and move on as vest as I can x
