Hi @LostAngel,

I'm sorry to read what you are going through. Being a victim of crime and having to give evidence is court is a very hard thing to do. I have volunteered with a victims of crime support group in the past so I have a fair idea what you are going through. I agree with your counsellor, you are very brave - I would also encourage you not to think you are in anyway responsible for what happened to you. There is a reason you are called a victim - the choices that the offender made was there's alone and I really hope that you don't feel the burden of your offender's choices. I understand how difficult it must be for you having to relive what happened to you, particularly in front of a court which can be very difficult for anyone (especially if you have never been inside a courtroom and/or don't have a fair idea how courts work). Is the counsellor you talk about able to be in court with you to support you or do you have someone that is able to go with you to court? As you said the offender needs to be held accountable for their actions - actions that they chose, not you. I really hope the case goes well and as I said before I think you are really brave - I also think you are really insightful.

I have heard from a few people recently that the rental market is challenging at the moment. I am glad to read that you have an organisation that can help you out - that's really good. I wish you well and hope that you find your new home very soon and that you will be very happy there.

As for the future - I agree with all you have said (and you have said it so well). A future filled with hope, self-belief and a positive sense of self if so important! I really believe that it is important to prioritise yourself and your own well being. I often think of myself in terms of how I would treat my best friend. What I mean by this is that I would always encourage my best friend to take good care of themselves, prioritise their mental health and wellbeing and to have a positive attitude about themselves.

Wishing you all the best and thank you for posting and sharing your story with us.

Take care and stay safe too.

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather
