Sexual assault
This happened a couple years ago, but I was at my boyfriends house and I had been needing a sticker on my car for a few weeks so he suggested I go get one at a nearby car shop. I had known the man since I was young and didn’t think twice about going. So I called his shop and he said to wait until around 5. Now that it’s happened I see how that was weird since his shop closed at 5.
So I go down there and he starts putting the sticker on my car. He gets out and starts talking for a little while and then tells me that I should meet him at a nearby sawmill that night. That took me by surprise so I quickly denied and went to get into my car. He was standing in front of my car door and I could not get in. He then continues to try to persuade me to meet him and then he grabs me and says something extremely dirty to me.
Im very fortunate to have gotten away from him and nothing worse happening to me. However sometimes I still think about it a lot and it made me not want to trust anyone. I grew up knowing that man and then that happens. At the time my dad was also in the icu from a car accident in which he had towed the car.
My boyfriend luckily took action. And now anytime the man sees me he goes in the other direction. However, since that happened, I have been touched inappropriately twice more by two different men.
Sometimes I feel extremely guilty for not trusting anymore. Not so much strangers, but I find myself getting nervous being around male family members.
I’m sorry to unload, I just really can’t process my feelings right now.
