I feel like I am in so far over my head and will never get over this.  ( Talking about the anniversary of my rape, feelings, legal stuff...Collapse )

I am having a rough night.

( CSA, not being believed, child custody, incompetent social workers, being accused of abuse because of being a victimCollapse )

This links to an article discussing a rape case and banning of virtually all terminology related to rape and sexual assault.

Just Keep Your Mouth Shut.
EDIT: The judge declared a mistrial.

( My thoughts...Collapse )

The initial advisement is Thursday morning.

*twitch twitch twitch*

I got a letter from the DA's office the other day. ( cut for legal talk, statements, and reactionsCollapse )

Does anyone in this community have experience with rape trials? I would like to talk to someone who knows about the trial process and perhaps has some law background.

I've got a great support system and people at my state attorney's office are usually great at answering questions, but I get really nervous when I talk to them so I forget to ask general stuff that some of you might know.

Please let me know how I can contact you if you're interested in a quick chat. Thanks = )

I've been halfheartedly working on some kind of statement if The Case goes to trial. I'm expecting some kind of "how did that make you feel/affect you?" question.

( well... [cut for emotional 'trauma' and boundaries, plus reactions to assault]Collapse )

It's rough, I know... but is this a good start? Will this work? I've never had to do anything like this at all, so I don't know what questions to expect, or how to word anything. This is just what I came up with at work while bored and trying not to fall asleep...

I just heard from the investigator handling my case. He said he's in the process of filing with the DA - does this mean it's for sure going to court, or is this the beginning of everything, or is this the middle of the road?

HALP

Question about arrests behind ( the cut...Collapse )
