Either way you are innocent,and the person who did this to you will have had a shock and scare that you have the strength to try to get them in court.

So yes, others have been in this situation, but drink isn't the answer, medication should help you cope, if its not, then see the GP so you get something stronger to help you through this hard time in your life.

Good Luck and STAY STRONG, dont let the B*stards grind you down...

I was abused and didn't have the sense or the guts to do anything until I finally went to uni and then left home (and the country). Be encouraged that even though you say you have tried to take your life, you also say "Luckily I'm still here." If you can feel glad you're still alive, YES there is light at the end of the tunnel--and it is not an oncoming train.

Good luck with the court case. Distance yourself from your abusers. Don't expect an admission of guilt or an apology. If you get one, great, but most abusers never ever admit their guilt, or if they do they try to put it off on the victim as "making" them do it. Don't believe it. Make a new life for yourself.

Be careful mixing alcohol and meds, you don't want to end up in a coma, or have the opposite side's barristers use this against you as evidence that you are "unstable" and not to be believed. Listen to chill music, talk to good friends (about something else), do something creative. Drink isn't the answer.
