[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry, OP. As a new college grad, my oldest DD was roofied and raped in the workplace. She doesn’t remember the actual rape, just the guy giving her a Coke and then coming to in a back room in a state of undress. She went straight to the ER. They did everything right there, including offering to call the police. She declined. I was so upset that she did not want to press charges, but she threatened to stop talking to me if I didn’t drop it. After a few weeks, some guy friends paid her rapist a visit and he abruptly left town. She did therapy. While she certainly isn’t over it, she found her own ways of taking her life back. I could have lost our relationship and not helped her at all.[/quote]

This is likely the most effective remedy and the one my family would have taken. Risky but worthwhile.[/quote]

I know what you mean. I am from a, lets call it "rougher" type of family that would have gone this route too. But I'd think that most people don't have the kinds of friends or family that can actually do this, not get caught, not talk about it and follow through on what they set out to do. I'm intentionally distanced from some people who live that life. Its not the kind of advice most on DCUM can use, IMO. But the other consequence of this is that my sister and I both have stated that if something had happened to us in our younger years we would never have told our parents because of fear of that kind of response.[/quote]
