Do you keep any contact with the person who raped or assaulted you?

Question

If you do, do mind sharing how you went about maintaining this line of communication?

Answer

No disrespect to anyone who is a victim of sexual assault, but why would you want to keep that line of communication open?

Answer

Pretty sure he is fucking dead by now

Answer

I understand why it might be hard to cut off contact but if you are answering “yes” to the poll or if you’re asking bc you were raped and are thinking of it, PLEASE cut them off and look into therapy

Answer

i wasn’t rape but i was assaulted by my step brother. i try my hardest to stay out of contact. the ONLY time i see him is when he shows up unannounced or when there’s family occasions and i never speak to him

Answer

I was molested by an uncle at a very young age. It’s one of my first memories. I was definitely too little to know what I was saying when I told on him for what he did to me. Still, my family is planted in denial. I wasn’t the first or the last either. He also molested at least three other cousins and raped his daughter. Both his sons turned out to be perverts and one of them is in prison for raping his 13 year old sister in law. Every time I spoke up I was either ignored or ridiculed for it.  As an adult, I’m barely in contact with most of my family but every once in a while I’ll go visit my grandma and he’ll be there. She gets irate if I mention anything or act uncomfortable around him, so normally I just try to hug the wall until I can leave.

Answer

I understand if you keep in contact bc it's a family friend & ppl don't know. It's hard to distance yourself in situations like that, especially if you did tell people but they don't believe you. I've personally had friends who ignored their families wishes of keeping it all quiet by reporting it and getting a protective order.

Answer

When you are shaking so bad you click 'yes' 
😅 No! I do not keep in contact with my rapist!

Answer

My ex husband raped me before I was forced into the marriage and then he sexually abused me the entire time we were married. After I left it took me years to get the divorce finalized because I was so afraid to see him or talk to him. I’m no longer in contact with him but the few years I was, it was extremely difficult. I didn’t get a councilor until after the divorce but I really should’ve had one from the start. I guess I just pushed through it and only met him in public places.
