People have a lot of different responses to having been the victim of a sexual assault. The severity of the sexual assault doesn’t necessarily correlate with the severity of the response of the victim. Everyone is different. It is just silly to try to mandate to people how to respond emotionally/psychologically to a sexual assault, or to tell someone their response was ‘wrong’. Actually, it is also dangerous, because it may encourage victims to exaggerate to get the justice/empathy they are wanting. Not to mention just give up and suffer alone. It also may encourage female perps out there.
Are you a part of the solution, or adding to the problem?
Mike had to know this would get ugly though. i hope he was warned. I am assuming he can handle it. He certainly seems to have found help. It is the others future and present victims out there that concern me.
