[quote=Anonymous]I told my son while he was in college, after he accidentally left a (girl) friend in an unsafe situation at a party. It led to a huge discussion about rape, date rape, rapes on college campuses, etc. Eventually he asked if I'd been raped. So I answered. Because I thought he was old enough, mature enough, to understand. To understand why I didn't tell. To understand why I never reported it. To understand how it affected me as a kid and an adult and as a parent of kids. To understand why I hadn't told him earlier. He was very upset, especially that I'd never reported the guy to the police, or sued him, or something. It took him a while to stop seeing me as a victim. It took him a while to be talked down from going to kill the man who raped me. I don't wish I hadn't told him, but it was hugely time-consuming and emotional to get through, and I'm glad I refused to give him details he asked for. [/quote]
