Life has no meaning and crime means nothing, after months of trials, and reliving my trauma my rapist was found not guilty

I’m so sorry. I’ve been there. Don’t let the system make you feel defeated. You know the truth and you spoke up about it. You should be proud of yourself

I’m really trying to, but after answering the questions and feeling like I was reliving it, and now he’s out there able to do it again, I feel defeated and like it meant nothing

You doing everything in your power to stand up for yourself is nothing short of pure power. You didn’t let yourself be silenced. You told your story over and over ad nauseam im sure. It’s ok to feel upset and disappointed and defeated for now. Let yourself feel it. But eventually once you’ve processed your grief in the situation, please revisit those feelings. Because what you did was the bravest thing imaginable and you should eventually take pride in that.

Thank you, your words are kind and helpful I will try my best. I think the hardest part was then they announced it and he just looked at me smirk and wink, and it just broke me more

Don’t give that creep the satisfaction of free rent in your head. I know it’s easier said than done but now, your best way to get revenge is to live happy. He wants to steal your joy and sanity. He wants to live in your mind. He already took what he wanted physically, don’t allow him to take anything else from you. You have peace knowing you fought to do the right thing. Unfortunately, the system is rigged against us. Put all your energy and focus now into healing and happiness 🫶🏻
