Hi honey. I am so very, very sorry this happened to you. First, NONE of this is your fault. NONE. Secondly, keep in your direct mind that you have survived this. You are alive, breathing and still a loving wife and mother. Please find a rape crisis center and call them. The people there are trained to assist you with your emotions. However, (and this is just a slight issue that I have with them), they always try to give you back the “power” and sometimes that isn’t helpful in law enforcement matters. They may tell you that prosecution is totally your call.. and it is. However, having power and acting upon fear/shame/guilt/any negative emotion may feel “right” at the time but not the correct decision.
What I would do or consider is this: you have the opportunity right now to procede with the police and getting this beast charged so that he won’t do it again. If he feels that he “got away with it”, the next young girl/woman may not be so lucky. I also agree with the Freeper to contact an attorney. I have the very strong suspicion that this isn’t his first time and the cab company has a responsibility to its customers.
Again, I am sorry this happened to you and will pray for you, hon. Don’t shut out your husband... just stay open in communication with him. Tell him that hugging right now makes you ill... he will understand. God Bless... (((Hugs))) Mom
p.s. Please stay in touch PM with someone here that you trust. We worry about our fellow Freepers!
Take inventory.
