The following thread will a very triggering yet series topic (s*a*)
Please do not read if you are triggered by it!!
Today is the day i faced the man who sexually assaulted me in court. Today's the day i learned the justice system is corrupt, protects rapists and does nothing to help us fellow survivors. On september 29th, 2017, the man pleaded not guilty and won.
I was devistated. Not only because i was 12 but because this was the 2nd time the man i've accused was set free. At the age of 4 i went to court against the man who also sexually assaulted me multiple times. And the judges decided he wasn't guilty. He walks free till this day
What i noticed, and it seemed to me it was because i was of young age on both occassions... was that they gaslighted my trauma. They asked questions, that often felt like a violation of privacy, and almost as if they were questioning if i was lying. Because of this...
I've now developed depression and anger issues. But the bottom line is, It's been 3 years now. I'm no longer ashamed, i'm a survivor. I, along with many other survivors shall not be shamed and silenced by society and should not be afraid to speak up.
I urge all fellow survivors to speak up, and to not let anyone bring you down. YOU'VE GOT THIS. You are strong, you are valid, I love you. I'm proud of you for overcoming this and being here on this earth. Together me and you will get through thisđź’“
