Hi Dear!

I'm so sorry to hear what happend to you. Your dreams seem to be an aftereffect of what happend to you. Because this sort of things are serious, I solicit you to see a psychologist or some other professional help. You should go as soon a possible because such things can have effects on your whole live. Maybe you will go to see a doctor that can send you to the right person.

Hope you will find some very good help! Be blessed!

Royofthe Rovers agony auntI am so sorry to hear about that, please, please, please go and see some proffessional advice. You need to talk to someone who can understand the feelings and trauma you are going through.

I know someone who had been raped many years ago and she never went to see anyone, she has never really got over it. She lives her life as normal but it has affected her in ways she does'nt like to admit. This changes you.

You may think your dealing/dealt with this, but clearly you have problems which are starting to arise. Please consider seeking some proffesional advice from somewhere, the sooner the better.

take your sister along for emotional support, but remember something like this WILL affect you for the rest of your life.
