Possibly TTC with new partner after previous rape.

So I basically need advice...

I’ve been with my partner a while now, we’ve known each other 9 years and I know his family very well also; we have the perfect relationship and both feel that the next step for us would be to start a family.

Backstory:

In my previous relationship, I was raped and emotionally abused by a very violent “man” that controlled women like he was playing with toy cars.

This being said, every time I think about starting a family, all I can help thinking about is my past and whether I am ready to move on in my life.

We as a couple have started taking steps to ttc for over a few months, such as take pre natal vitamins, and quitting smoking and drinking etc.

I just basically want to know if anyone is in a similar situation or they’ve been through similar things and whether it’s ok to move on?

Thanks ☺️
