Is it normal to be having a great pleasant dream and then all of the sudden you are under your rapist reliving your trauma all over again?

From a Different Perspective (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/EVNl2D99bY *Warnings: - I actually enjoy using grammar correctly, but I'm only human! If you spot a mistake, please let me know so I can fix it! - This is a coming of age novel. Some of the content concerning alcohol, drugs, sex, (some) language, assault, loss, and grief may not be appropriate for everyone. - I will be posting new chapters frequently! This story does not have a happy ending, it is a first love story and a first betrayal story, one that shows how the word love can be twisted into something far worse than a broken heart. A brutally honest portrayal of the lasting consequences young love can breed. "From a Different Perspective" explores the unsettling truth about the boundless ways the ones we love can hurt us, and the cruel relentlessness of emotion. L. Davis has constructed an eye opening narrative, composed of alarmingly normal characters, rights of passage, and actions in everyday life. This coming of age story is drenched in grief and lies. It will make readers question- How one person can process so much weight and still appear to be like everyone else. How much a single person can hide and still appear to be like everyone else. Dedication: I wrote this novel for no one other than myself. It is a part of who I used to be and a gift, delicately constructed for the person I am today. I'm so, very honored to be able to share a little piece of who I am with you.

Hi Miss Chase, My name is XXXXXXX I am a 31 one year old single mother of 3 children 2 boys and 1 girl. There are 15,11 & 10 years old. I would really like to be granted a wish for my children and I to have a good Christmas. This year has been a hard year for us especially the last couple of months. I suffer with severe anxiety and depression. I was raped a little while ago and contracted an illness. Miss Chase I can tell what it is face to face of you care to know. I am also part of a domestic abusive relationship where my boyfriend physically, mentally and emotional abuses me. You see he knows about my illness but he holds it over my head and treat me very badly sometimes. Things got very bad in October and I felt like I had no way out. I didn't want to live this life anymore. I tried to commit suicide by taking an overdose and had to be hospitalized. I was recently released and I am staying by a family member right now. Sad to say that things are bad for me and the children here. I am supposed to be moving into an apartment in a weeks time. I am currently unemployed but I will be geti g some assistance from welfare. It would be my greatest wish just for my kids to have a decent meal and a peaceful Christmas. I just want them to be happy. It don’t matter what gifts are given to them as long as we can have a good meal together as a family and they are happy. Because of everything that has happened it has taken a toll on them especially my 11 year old son who he is ID criteria dsm5 along with hypertension because of nephritis syndrome. We are all undergoing counseling. If I am successful I would be very thankful and honored for my children.

Rape culture has become prevalent across the African continent and very worrying is the trend of normalizing sexual assault and violence against women and girls. Victim blaming has been used as a tool by the patriarchy to protect perpetrators. Stereotypes around rape also play a huge role in undermining and trivialising survivors’ experiences and giving power to the abuser. Victim blaming always takes the form of questions meant to insinuate that the victim was asking for what happened to them. These questions may include: 📍What was she wearing? 📍Was she drunk? 📍Why was she with him alone? 📍Why did she go to his house? 📍Did she even say no? As a sexual assault and rape survivor, we are here to let you know that your trauma and feelings are still valid no matter what your experience is. We believe you! What are some of the questions that rape apologists ask?

When you work hard enough for everything you have, you learn to appreciate each honest, hard earned success. When you lose everything, home, car, family, friends, humanity... you question what was worth it all?

I feel guilty... I was freindly with my rapist after everything happened, I was confused and had not figured out what had happened and why I was feeling so horrible. This is why I feel I cant say anything against him, I want to let it go... but the flashbacks are strong.

Currently going thru some horrible stuff. I was kissing my boyfriend and had a sudden flashback of my rapist on top of me. Does this ever stop?

[lalaescape]

The most annoying part about being a rape survivor is the fact that you could be in a good season in your life and then suddenly BOOM you have a vivid dream of what happened to you all over again. I can sometimes smell the vanilla lotion he had on and I just want to puke when it happens.

Why I’m scared to go to NYC.

I am currently visiting my mom in Florida and will be visiting my dad on Tuesday to NYC with the love of my life and I have not been looking forward to the trip at all and I could not figure out why. I know that the eminent war right now and the situation in Australia maybe has me a little anxious but ultimately I know the truth as to why I feel a knot in my stomach . When I think of the possibility of me stepping foot on 42nd and 9th I literally freeze, that’s because that’s where I met up with the freind who raped me in 2013. He told me that night that we would only meet up for thirty minutes and he would pay for my food. I ended up drunk and naked under him 4 hours laters in a hotel room in queens. I know I talk about this situation a lot here but that’s because Tumblr Is the only outlet I have where I can talk freely about my PTSD, triggers and flashbacks which I feel have only been getting worse with time, with out judgement.

The smell of Vanilla lotion still repulses me.

FlashBlackOut

I could feel the panic in every inch of my body. See his blue eyes piercing me as forcibly as his member. The blade on my throat. The begging, the fear, the fight, the final line: He could kill me now and my baby sleeping upstairs would never have her mom or I can go with him, hoping to survive. Something wrong with my body. Somethings wrong with this drink. Somethings wrong with this scene. "Smile baby, dont piss me off", the knife in his sleeve against my waist. Im going to die tonight. Im going to die. Blurring faces, a brick wall, blue lights, People walking passed from smoking. Blood down my thighs. Pain. Emptiness. That knife. His sweat. Im already dead. The highway, some cornfields. Pushing RPM. To the left a little..Cultivator. Reverse. Fast. Now. Blackout. Voices, lights, pain. Arms locked into the steering wheel. Seatbelts locked. Blood staining my jeans. Cant look away. Voice: "Can you hear me? What's your name? Does anything hurt? Dont sit back, there's a spade in your headrest. What's your name? Can you follow my light?" Voice2 : She's got a hard cast on the right leg, no ID, no wallet, no possesions. Another blade. Not his. Not the cultivators. Seatlbelts loose. Voice: Hi, I'm Brandon. We're gonna get you outta here, ok? Do you hurt anywhere? What's your name? Blackout.
