Dear Katie:

Welcome back, Katie! Last I read from you was on March 18, 2020- ten days less than a year ago. You started 58 threads here, first on December 2017 (you are welcome to start as many threads as you would like).

You started posting Dec 2017 when you were a senior in high school. You wrote at the time about your first boyfriend: “we have been dating for 2 years.. he is in college and I am in high school”. I believe it was your first boyfriend that you referred to back in March 2020, when you wrote: “I was in an abusive relationship for 3 years with my ex boyfriend. I trusted him when he was actually abusing me”, so the relationship lasted from 2015-2018 (?)

I didn’t know until today- that he raped you. I am very sorry to read that you were raped. I hope you talked about it in the therapy you had (and still have?)

As far as wanting justice for yourself, I suggest that you consult an attorney in the city/ state where the rapes occurred and take it from there. This is a legal issue and going about it the legal route is the way to go about it.
