Raped by my cousin last year, what do I do now ..

I hate to think im writing this on the internet but its been a secret too long and I need advice, please dont write anything nasty , I know how sorry I am already. its july 2009, around this time last year me and a few of my friends were going to camp in a feild in my area. I told my mum I was staying at a friends house. at around midnght it started to rain and my friends all went in and left me outin the cold, I phoned my cousin and asked if I could stay at his house, he was so drunk and raped me that night, I ran home crying ad sat outside my house till morning. I’ve never told anyone exept my best friend at the time who I thought I could trust, be he told everyone in my school and they shouted stuff at me like “incest” .. I was so upset and told my mum I was being bullied so I could move school. im a lot happier now, but I still have the memory and I dont know if I should just always hate him at the back of my mind or take things further. please help me,no nasty comments

Answer #1

tell the police. dont worry it may be incest buts its not like you chose for it to happen. and never speak to that cousin again unless there going to never hurt you again and apologize.

Answer #2

Well even though what he did to you was horrible forgive you can’t go you’re whole life hating someone it even says it in the bible . In the long run it makes you a better person first I know it’s hard but you shoud tell you’re mom . She’s always the first person you should go to and ask her what you guys as a family should do. You can leave the situation alone and go to counciling if you feel hurt about it . Or you can settle it legaly in court no matter how hard it is . I hope you feel better and get help.

hey,I have a friend that had a similar situation . she came out with it , she told her mother and just for a while she went to a councelor and explained and she felt safe and then a haevynes was lifted off her. if you speek it will help then this problem will vanish.but you cant hold on to it just put it away write it down ask if you could go see someone . you can ignore this but im onley trying to help.

Answer #4

Maybe you could tell your parents but if you were me I would probably feel scared and helpless

Answer #5

Tell someone and go further its had but dont keep it in

Answer #6

aww that sick!! but are you ok now??? in my opinion I personally think you should take it further… does he realise what he did to you?? are you pregnant from the incident?? it will be horrible to have memories… my friend got raped by her uncle a few years ago.. she managed to confide in our form tutor after much convincing.. she got help with it all and all that… even though it was family she still hates him for it… so I’d speak to someone who you can trust.. a teacher… a friend who you know wont blab maybe…

let us know how you get on.. good luck =) x

Answer #7

hiya hun. I hope your ok. I was raped by my uncle 5months ago I told my 2 of my best mates at the time because I was not sure how to tell my mum or dad, nanna or my aunty. Believe me im glad that I did because 1 helped me tell my mum which was very difficult to do I couldnt stop crying or shaking. And my other best mate told one of her reletives who then told my dad, I found that very upsetting because now I wish that I text my dad and told him but it was out in the open my dad rung my aunty and told her that he new what her husband had done, so then if got in the car and drove off because my dad was going to kill him. On the 3rd day I was going 4 the examination and to give my video statement. My mum and dad and the rest of the family was so supportive, I will never ever talk to him again and he is defo not my uncle all he is, is a low life wanker and a pedo. If you cant tell your mum on your own then at least tell your closest mate and ask her/him to help you tell her, it is a little bit easier with support from a friend there to help you. I hope this helps you hun. Xxx I hope everything works out 4 you dont be scare just try and be strong you are a better person. Xxx

Answer #8

First and foremost, be strong and it is not your fault. Your cousin seems like a scummy kind of person :-( I wish you would take this farther if it has caused you depression, anger..because it is entirely understandable.
You must find a few people you can turn to and confide in. I know it’s hard to know who you can trust but you will know. I’m sorry for that happening to you because it has happened to me more than once. But also I put myself in my last situation that it happened. Sometimes if we just think smart and think ahead of the unknown then we will be better off. Just be aware of your ‘friends’ and surroundings. My advice is to just stay strong and let this only make you a better person and maybe it could be a factor in helping others with the same situation in your community.

I hope this helps..message me if you need to talk :D
