The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm sorry that happened to you. It is an awful thing to go through and so is the aftermath. It happened to me, too. But long ago. There are steps to take to get to healing. I am here for a friend and support. I am praying for you to be healed from this terrible thing.

Hard to wrap the mind around those memories and the emotions, physical events themselves, and the conscience regarding them..
First.. take out what he did.. that is not a part of you nor should you justify, deal with, or try to understand... You will never fully be able to wrap your mind around the way his mind worked or his feeling about what he did or his justifications...
Second.. your emotions involvement is going to the hardest to disconnect from on and in this issue. .. Your conscience will play a large role in how your feelings on this matter hold you back in these past memories.. which will not allow you to move forward.. until you do resolve them. . So the best you can do is take it all.. package it up in your mind and hand it to the Lord, asking forgiveness on your parts, his parts, and the whole experience and leave it on the altar for God to help you forgive yourself, forgive him, and start the healing process.
There are some things that will leave scars, .. they will be the lessons marks of experience that you will always carry with you.. to mature your decision making experiences upgrade ... God can teach you the better way of life in Him.. and tell you the answers, trust Him, He knows.. and let His answers be yours.. even if your friends and family have not reach His standard.. You taking on His standard will preserve you from future bad experiences like this one. .. Learn from your mistakes.. Grow from this to live a new and better life...
Remember to forgive yourself and your part.. Do not let the past hold you back from living a full and healthy, happy productive life.. Trust God and learn from Him, He knows the Way...

A suitable third party can provide support and insight which can be real life savers for some people. Do you have anyone like that?
