[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

I want to encourage you to SERIOUSLY consider asking Jeff to delete this thread. Not because I think it's an unimportant topic, or because I disagree with you. Because I feel like you are going to read a lot of responses from the misogynistic, ignorant rape-apologists of DCUM and reading them may really hurt you. I was sexually assaulted under similar circumstances last summer and I still need to avoid all mention of sexual assault in facebook articles, the news, threads on DCUM etc.

My advice really boils down to what's been said above: discuss all the issues you've mentioned here in therapy (especially the assault in high school) and then involve your husband. The way he's talking to you now is harmful and you deserve to hear better than that. You weren't at fault in either of your assaults. Women are allowed to get drunk in public. If you found someone who had slipped on ice and was unconscious, you wouldn't assault them. There is no important difference between those two situations. [/quote]

Op here - thank you.  And I am so so sorry this happened to you too.  I think I'm ok to hear the responses - now.  2 years ago, no way.  The reality is that people out there think this way and that is something I will always have to deal with. I just never wanted to have to deal with it in my own home.[/quote]
