I need some advice

Hi ladies!

I need some help on a touchy subject. After I’ve been seeing all the #MeToo stories from women and men coming forward about their sexual assault. All of this is making me want to come forward and tell my family about mine. About five years ago next month, I was drugged and raped while I was at college. I’ve only told two people about since then.

I want to tell them so I can finally have this weight lifted off, but I am utterly terrified to. I’ve written a long email to them all explaining (not in every single detail bc that would be too much for them), bc we all live in different places. It’s not a short email, but it explains what happened.

I need to know, if that is weird and impersonal to do it that way. I’m terrified, help please
