Re: TW Rape
(Anonymous) 2016-04-19 02:27 am (UTC)(link)Yes to 1 in 3. I was sexually abused as a child by my friend's father (and yes my friend was also abused) and I'm sure I wasn't his only victim. My friend went through friends at an alarming rate and I can guess why.
Anyway, since then I was preyed on multiple times by different men. If I hadn't already been a victim and recognized the signs and knew what to avoid, I'm sure things would have taken a turn for the worse.
None of my family knows. Hell, I'm pretty sure my parents never even suspected anything.
I have several friends, but only 2 who know about my past. I've long suspected that one of them was also abused as a child, but I've never tried to pry because it's their business. I've come across several others who I suspect are abuse survivors - not necessarily as a child, but by the time they went through puberty (some of them have told me and confirmed my suspicions). Mostly female.
It's so easy to pretend this kinda thing doesn't happen in a civilized society if you don't know what to look for.
Remember Becky in 6th grade who went out with that cool 16-year-old? Guess what, he was 23!
(And yeah, I consider that rape, even if the girl gives her "consent".)
I work with children now and I won't go into details, but yeah, in my experience, 1 in 3 seems pretty accurate.
