Am about to call a helpline
I was raped by one of my family members and my parents didn’t exactly support me because of the reputation being spoiled and everything
I desperately wanna call but am just really scared rn
Can someone just say something or push me to make that call please I really need it
What happened
I mean who did this shame ful thing
What’s your age
17 and I don’t wanna talk about it here… i just need someone to push me to make that call
Ask your parents to do the call or else you will take action against this shameful thing
I already said they don’t support me…
they have asked me not to report it or talk about it even
Who was the person behind this activity! ?
As i said before I don’t wanna share it here…
You can make that person live his life behind bars, your case can ruin his life. Go for it
Do you want to talk personally?
Rest it’s upto you
Am scared
When did it happen
When i was 6-7 and again in 2020 he asked me to do it again but i said no so nothing happened in 2020 but was an attempt
Then just slap him whenever he try to talk to you
It’s not that easy…
But it’s necessary
Ik that but i just idk my body freezes around him i just try to pretend and act normal
This is important to show him that you can speak and you can make his life hell
Be bold , be confident. Your silence can boost his bravery of doing it
But in reality I can’t…
Where are you from
Mumbai
If you are from my locality, I can interfere
No… that’s not needed…
Who is that person, and why parents are silent
What kind of parents you have? Whatever happens, I don’t think you should remain silent, if something has not happened as per your wish then you should raise your voice for yourself.
Then I can’t say anything
It’s someone from my family and my parents say that we can’t report him because people will guilt blame my parents and their reputation will be spoiled
That’s old thinking, now the person who does it will get effect and not the one who suffered
The thing is if I complain or anything i will have to be standing against my own parents and i feel guilty for doing so
But my parents say because he is from our family it will ruin our family’s name and my parents will be blamed for irresponsibly
Nothing will happen just slap him
He will hit me back and my parents won’t even do anything because it’s normal behaviour for them and they will just think we are play fighting
Disgusting
I wasn’t able to… they were ashamed of everything and didn’t wanna hear it
I hate them… I don’t even want them in my life i have been telling them all this for more than 2 years and even before I suffered in silence and still they don’t feel anything it’s just suffocating to live around them all
That’s what am wanting to do but am hesitating to do so
Am scared of the consequences
I don’t have any support, my parents don’t support me
No…
What am I supposed to say , how should i start the conversation, i start to shiver and my voice starts to tremble when i talk about it
You are your own best support, you should not have expectations from your parents…
They are my parents, everyone expects their parts to support them atleast in such cases…
How is that my fault…
Whatever is going on inside you, speak it directly, at least you will not regret in future that you did not even try it for yourself.
It’s really hard to… I expected my parents to do something but they all live happily and laugh and stuff as if nothing happened and i just feel like stabbing myself everytime they are together happily living their lives as if they didn’t do anything
How should i start…
It’s my first time calling a helpline
