Karen,

I am so happy to hear that you finally reported it to the police. I know that must have been extremely difficult for you. You a very strong and brave young woman, especially for having very little support from anyone else. I commend you. Even if the rest of the world lets you down, you can always count on yourself. You are the most important person in your life, and you need to treat yourself with love and respect. I know that what you have been through has been terrible, and you must be feeling pretty low. Just try to be strong and fight through this. I urge you to find a cousellor to talk to. I hope that you will proceed with prosecution, because you are worth fighting for. You can do it. We are all here pulling for you. Thank you for keeping us updated.

As far as ever trusting a male again, I think you need to give it time. Hopefully by the time you are ready to seek a partner, you will be able to find a nice, mature man. Just take it very slowly.

Good luck to you, Diane
