A female reader, chigirl Norway +, writes (3 April 2012):

chigirl agony auntI have no idea. Maybe that she was walked over by him and he used her feelings without returning them or respecting her?

You should ask her what she meant if it is important for you to know.

A reader, anonymous, writes (3 April 2012):

The others may be right but the term "rape" has been watered down and it very much depends on the context, only she can tell you the severity but at your age I highly doubt it's anything serious.

Here in Ireland people use the term rape very lightly, "feck it, I was totally raped out of 5 bucks on that bet" "I was raped on the last question in that exam I'm going to fail." "haha raped." "total rapage."

Much like the term "fag" is no longer used a pejorative for gay people but merely a endearing slur towards a friend or how the term "gay" was changed from meaning jolly to being a pejorative term for homosexual, to being a positive label for a homosexual, to now being a term meaning "bad". "Oh shit dude, that's gay."

I have a feeling emotionally raped is just her way of saying he was a bit of a headfuck but using the most dramatic terms she can to make it sound more profound. Pretty normal for girls your age to blow things way out of proportion.

Claraw1 agony auntI found this explanation in the urban dictionary.

Emotionally raped is a person who feels absolutely violated, mistreated and abused in a non-physical contact manner. Its the improper treatment that stirs the soul into a breakdown mode.

I hope it helps.

A reader, anonymous, writes (3 April 2012):

Emotionally raped? You'll have to ask her for clarification. It sounds like a guy played with her emotions and she got really hurt in the past. But I have to say, emotionally raped is not a good way to express those feelings. I mean, emotionally raped? Like what?
