whether or not to report is an extremely personal decision that comes with a lot of personal risk and suffering. it’s not bad to cope with what happened to you however feels best for you

Knew I was bi and fetishized it later I found out he was extremely homophobic and misogynistic, he knew my mom was extremely homophobic too and may even be willing to kick me out or disown me if she knew. If he threatened to hurt my friend and knew where I lived I was afraid he’d go after my family if I tried to file a report against him. I already know he went crying to his friends and family telling our mutual friend that I’m his slave and will burn in hell for disobeying him.

Thanks, I just felt bad about it cause two of the close friends I told about what happened permanently cut me off after I told them I would report to the police and they tried to pressure me into it saying “if you don’t report him he’ll never be caught and might do what he did to you to someone else”. Those same friends complained when I showed up to club meeting obviously not doing well, no sleep rewearing clothes, cause I was having very bad trauma and nightmares for months

even with solid evidence, the chances of him going to prison for very long or even at all are super low. and it would’ve taken potentially years of retraumatizing yourself to maybe get nowhere. if he does it to someone else, it’s his fault, not yours
