Recently I saw a news on TV about a woman who was allegedly sexually abused through several  years and kept the incest a secret which has finally broke her silence. It took her nine years to muster the courage to lodge a police report exposing what her soldier father did to her.


She is now aged 20, claimed that her father also locked her up in a room when she was 12 and sexually abused her.. She was only given food during those few days and wasn't allowed to attend school..  


She also claimed that there had been occasions when her father tied her to the bed and also inserted objects into her private parts.. Can't imagine how bad the situation was..! She got the courage to lodge a police report after four years only because her aunt had assured her that she wouldn't be harmed.


Her relative claimed the victim told him that her father had raped and sexually abused her.. He also said her mother was aware of the abuse but kept silent because of her husband's fierce character.. She was abused from someone who should have loved her.. 


Rape is frightening and traumatizing. People who have been raped need care, comfort, and a way to heal.
What's the right thing to do if you've been raped? Take care of yourself in the best way for you. For some people, that means reporting the crime immediately and fighting to see the rapist brought to justice. 


For others it means seeking medical or emotional care without reporting the rape as a crime. Every person is different. I understand that, but you were taken advantage of by disgusting people and now you are suffering because of it. It wasn't your fault. Rape is a horrible thing and and you don't have to regret it because it wasn't something you chose and you didn't cause it to happen. 


Remember,you are not alone.. Don't be scared to speak out and talk to someone that can be trust..  Tell a therapist, psychiatrist, counselor, etc. Don't keep quiet, because it is definitely not the right way for you! Don't keep this to yourself!
