Im a 20 yr old female and my question today is how can i get over molestation and rape? Growing up and becoming a woman wasnt easy with all the harassment I've been through. I've been through some type of sexual harassment during my lifetime and I've gotten raped as well this happened about a year ago. I use to live with my ex boyfriends mom and at the time i slept in a room alone. During this time i was on medication for a heart condition i have and it would put me to sleep and make me weak. I remember more thas one night someone would come in the room and harass me sexually i didn't know who but i know it was a male because i ended up pregnant. I need help getting over this because it sometimes interferes with my present life now. Please help

No women should have to endure what you have had too. IF you had the baby or are still pregnant with the child it is easy to find out who the father is and who is responsible for raping you and charging him with rape. A simple paternity test; which is a DNA test of the male members of that house you lived in will tell the story.
You never truly get over being molested or raped. What you do is, with the right type of professional help, you can learn how to properly deal with what has happened to you so that you can move on with your life. To help you with this I am recommending you call an organization called RAINN.
RAINN stands for Rape, Abuse, Incest, National Network. They operate a 24/7 hotline that when you call them connects you to a crises center near you. The people who take your call are trained to help you and will help you find the proper professional to work with you to deal with what has happened. Including helping you find legal advice and making the proper police reports. Their number is 1-800-656-HOPE.
You are a victim and one way to start healing and put this properly in your past is to get proper closure. Closure can include seeing the perpetrator(s) or your rape and abuse properly punished.

Anyway, people on here are not trained counsellors. Its up to you to speak to a trained counsellor, because they can offer you things like CBT that we can not offer on this website.
I can not help you from the other side of a computer screen, but I can tell you to go and get help. You were brave enough to write on here, so be brave some more and speak to your doctor. [ kittenlover2000's advice column | Ask kittenlover2000 A Question ]
