It wasn't your fault. You were not to blame.

I know you are traumatized and saddened by it...but please get help. You're worth it and you are not deserving to be silenced. The criminal who did it is the one who should be ashamed...not you.

It was a crime for that to be done to you...not your fault regardless of how hard you fought...guilt is NOT yours.

You are still very worthwhile. I'm sorry you feel alone. The people here on AS are with you...

Hi

You could just say to them you have been a victim of circumstance and that you are not ready to talk about it but that you need their support etc.

Keep pestering them. They may forget since so many contact them.
