Let me make sure I understand your sitch - your W suffered a rape 7 years ago and is still coping with the effects?
I was also raped on 2 diff't occasions while in college. I denied both of the events for close to 4-5 years. I had a lot of anger & bitterness towards men who would look at me sexually and I never understood my own reaction. I didn't date for years & years b/c I was afraid to get intimate with anyone. Finally one night after watching continued coverage of the Duke rape case, I had an awakening that I was indeed raped.
I went to IC for close to a year to sort out emotions, the damage I had done to myself while denying it, and how to move foward. I was finally able to confront my fears..... but it hasn't been easy.
I am happy to answer any questions you have about how your W may feel. I may be able to give you more insight into her feelings???
I am truly sorry for both of you to be dealing with this. Doesn't seem fair someone else's bad decision can so deeply impact a person and their Rs.
