Forgetting Rape - - is this normal?
It took me about 5 years to remember/admit I was raped. I was 20 years old. I was drugged and left in a parking lot. I have 2 “flashbacks” of the night (if that’s what you would call them)...I don’t even remember how I got home. I obviously had some issues afterwards so I finally started seeing a therapist. After a year in therapy, I spoke to my therapist about it. She was shocked it took so long. Has anyone else had anything similar?
Side note: I was also sexually assaulted when I was 22 years old. I woke up at a friends house (at 10:00 AM completely sober) to someone I didn’t know fingering me. Did this assault trump my rape? Is that why I forgot? Ughh just trying to piece the puzzle together.
