I just thought that I'd take a moment to let you know something that's helped me move past what's happened to me in my own crap sack life. If hearing this helps you, awesome. If you've heard it before, well, skip that part.
My point is, what happened to you -- it's not. your. fault. You are not alone. You are not weak, and you needn't be afraid. You are indeed loved, and there is a point to revisiting your story if telling it means someone else may be able to avoid your fate. If you know someone associating with that guy, you might warn them. Or who knows, if he does something else, the fact you talked to the cops may influence them to work that much harder to see he faces justice. God forbid -- I hope no one else has to suffer like that. But who knows, hearing your story might even help someone cope. Just know that it's okay to be upset. Sadness, fear, anxiety -- these things aren't weakness. If we don't process them, we cut off parts of ourselves that we need to survive. Keep that in mind.
If you need a thought box, I'm here, and if I'm ever in the UK and somehow happen upon you, just know any bugger that so much as looks at you wrong is gonna get a mean right hook. ;)

It's nice to hear from you again, it's been a while :)
Though let's face it, nobody wants to be reminded of our darkest memories or our weaknesses. Sometimes all we need is just being listened, and a voice that tells you to carry on. It's a simple thing that anyone can do. So whatever you do, keep going ;)
