Have you ever been victim blamed?

Question

What happened? Share your stories, if you feel comfortable enough to.

Answer

Shit yeah I have twice. First time was when I was raped bc apparently it was my fault for wearing pants and covering my body. All bc I thought the guy was a mutual friend of a boyfriend at the time and mine so I hung out with him and tried leaving when I felt uncomfortable which he didnt allow me to and pinned me against my car and then told me how my boyfriend at the time who is an ex now of course was cheating on me and made me emotional so I was crying and in a emotional state so he could rape me. I tried pushing him off me and I told him no idk how many times and he didnt care. After he even said I know you didnt want to and I forced myself on you and that's why you're mad. He knew what he did. I said during it hurts stop and he said it doesn't and kept going. The second time was when another ex boyfriend was cheating on me and I found out bc he was drunk and I didnt know bc I didnt smell it on him anyway I had answered his phone and his other girlfriend said she wanted to talk to him well this upset him and he attacked me. He banged my head on the floor and strangled me I fought with everything in me and I ripped his hands from my neck I had to use so much force that I left nail marks on his hands. I drew blood on his hands bc he wasnt letting go. After he finally let go I talked him down enough and he passed back out and I had the police called yet again the police blamed me for it saying it was my fault just like when I was raped it was my fault bc I was there. It was my fault bc I woke him up. It was my fault bc I went to the guys house. It was my fault I got beat bc I woke him up after he had been drinking. No it wasn't my fault, none of it was. It's never the victims fault! That's bullshit and I hate when ppl victim blame like that bc it's not true.
