You will get different responses from different people, and it depends on the history/experience of the person replying. I have skimmed through that other thread and it's not clear that she's directly accused you of raping your partner. I think that she's just trying to get you to understand the female 'psyche', that's all. Women are afraid, haven't you noticed? They are scared of men. If I was a woman, I would be too, given all the news stories that we hear about.

She said, "It's still rape". I understand the rest of her comments. I beleive this woman should have to tell future men that she has this condition. I would certainly act differently if I would have known.

It still could be bothering her.

Hi,
Thank you for your response. Are you a victim of PTSD too. I think it is still bothering her. I, however, cannot help her fill in details unless she wants me to. I feel so helpless. To me I believe she thinks at thios point it is just easier to go on thinking all this happened just like she says. Her family also helps her convince herself. They don't even know me. The prosecution also helped her continue to think this way. It seems the best way for her to get at the truth would be to talk to me about it. Any comments?

Maybe, she has false memory syndrome.

You're welcome. Oh, and I think I might be suffering from PTSD.

Well, to shatter a crystal would take a lot of force/impact. What exactly was the impact in your case, Shattered_Crystals?

I don't know if I get your question. If you are asking what caused me to have PTSD I think it was the sexual abuse.

Hi,

I was just messing with you because your username is a reference to shattering a crystal. Sorry, I shouldnt' really have joked and should have been more caring of your situation. How long ago was the abuse in your case? You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to - of course - but I am all ears for you whenever you need me.

Well, I was abused more than once, the last time I was abused, was like somewhere around the time where 2009 first started.
