| Semantics of Rape |

Had another appt at the rape crisis center today. It was ok. (Still not thrilled with the counselor who is uber-placating). However, she did make an interesting point... I've always said that I didn't really identify with the word "rape" - it wasn't about the sex that has bothered me so much. It was the betrayal - that he trashed our supposed friendship, risked my health and drugged me so recklessly. She said that most women that were drugged often have a hard time identifying with the sexual aspects of it because their recollection of the actual sexual acts are so hazy. (Made sense.) Talked at length with the woman that handles the victim's compensation fund and she gave me more information on how to handle the reimbursement for my medical expenses. And, she also gave me the name of an atty that handles civil cases involving sexual assaults. I'm having surgery on Tuesday (minor stuff) but it's directly related to what "T" did to me. I may be opening a can of worms, but I really think that I'm going to pursue things in court against him. I don't really give a flip about getting a dime from him - but I know that it would be a bitch for him. |

I hope you're feeling better ASAP. I'll talk to the atty next week while I'm recuperating.

Yeah, good luck with the surgery.
And I too hope you take the bastard to the cleaners.

Good for you! It's not about money, it's about holding him accountable for what he has done. I hope it all goes well.

Thanks... I know that there's no amount of money that would really make a difference to me. I'd gladly give the $ to charity.

I don't think he'd ever 'get' it and truly feel accountable. That's part of the confusion I feel at some times - he demonstrated such compassion and concern in the months leading up to it. It was completely out of character for him based on the previous 8 months of knowing him. Totally respectful with me in the past... It's like Jekyll and Hyde. I'm notoriously someone who looks for 'red flags' in people.
Oh well, I'm rambling...

I know, it isnt about the money. It is about making him pay so he'll understand that what he did was wrong. And if he still doesnt get it, well he should have to pay anyways.
