I was not raped thankfully, but abused by a close family member, paternal grandpa..
At least in years I can remember I was not very angry and didn't wish him harm though some others have.. We stopped communicating with that side of the family besides my dad who was already estranged from them when I admitted what happened when I was about 14 years old. and they said I was probably making it up for attention *sigh* We did try to press charges but as many of you probably discovered that isn't easy to do and so we couldn't, which is fine by me now..
The biggest thing I had to deal with is accepting the fact that I am not tainted or dirtied or made less than because of the experience and being preyed on. Once we can believe that we are still wonderful worthwhile divine beings, well that is the main step to healing. also of course there's often guilt and shame and such attached in different ways, which should not be owned or adopted by us.
One of the most powerful things I did to help heal from this is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and I think it could help others who still feel in need of a little resolution and clearing. Please don't hesitate giving it a try if you do. You are whole and healing constantly, yourself and others with your mere presence, and deserve to feel accordingly <3
