    Just ask them if there is one. It's a good idea for you to ring rape crisis or the samaritans and talk this through.

    Why do you want to go to the police?

    What specialist would a doctor refer you to?

    How are either of these NOT going to involve you telling people in detail what happened?

    why go to the police now? just because something similar is being investigated - why do you want to? can you proove it ever happened since it was such a long time ago? unless you know of other people who either saw it happening or could give evidence on your part from the time when it happened - its will just be your word against his. and tbh and i'm speaking from personal experience... going to the police is an EXTREMELY hard thing to do... and its nasty and its horrible... and at the end of the day, if you can proove it - if it was full sex, there might be evidence of scaring around your vagina depending on how old you were, or other internal evidence, etc - but to go through that is more than hell - if you haven't dealt with what happened to you. going to the police won't help you ... although they will arrange support whilst it is being investigated up until it goes to court... all it will do is bring up : all the humiliation, all the hurt, all the pain, all the grief... - i guess what i'm saying is - don't expect to gain anything... and thats even if the bastard is tried and imprisioned... don't expect to gain anything!!!!!
    but i think there is still a question as to whether you could proove it ever happened or not???????
    and if you want some support, if you really are that desperate i'm sure you'll be able to get over your fear of talking to someone down the phone!
    just to put it in perspective... going to the police... a lot of your support would probably be from victim support - and you'd probably be talking down the phone a lot then anyway.
    the no. of the samaritans is 08457 90 90 90 if you do want to talk to someone!
    and i think as has already been said all people on here can do and all any of the ask-the-site team can do is point you in the direction of support... like phone nos for the samaritans... etc - you need to understand that. but if you want to open up more or get anything off your chest - write it on the boards - thtas support. and i've found personally (becasue the support in my area is crap beyond belief!) that these boards ARE imo one of the best sources of support anywhere... which says a lot really!

    otter.

    i want to go to the police because it was wrong i haddent even gone thru puberty it makes me sick and i think it would help.
    the doctor would probably reffer me to a councilor.

    The police would be able to do nothing

    A councillor is the same as telling Rape Crisis or the Samaritans.

    i think you are too reliant on other people to offer you help tbh.

    his sister was there a couple of times but she mite not remember. i dont blame him and dont care if hes punished because i ralise hes done this because it was being bone to him i dont blame him i blame his uncle.
    his mum also caught us once i dont know weather she railised what was going on.
    they will probably be no evidence on me because ive had a partner for 5 years and have had a baby.
    it just rests on weather hes willing to admit it.

    wtf? Why go to the police if you don't want him punished?

    What exactly do you want out of this?

    and you think he will... "admit it"?
    simple question... what do you want from all of this?

    You do realise that the police may not be supportive, they may not actually be all that nice about it at all.

    Some forces are really not good about dealing with rape and abuse. Be careful.

    well its not fair punishing him if hes done it because of his uncle is it?
    if i dont go tell to police i wil feel guilty if he does it again at least ive told them what hes capable of?!

    Load of people get abused without doing anything wrong following it.

    The police won't believe you. Get some counciling

    you are right.
    when i went to the police it was 2 different forces which were involved.
    passing information between each other.
    1 force was so much better than the other.

    from what you've said you haven't got anything to substanciate what you are saying.
    if you want to talk about how the abuse has affected you and how you feel wrt it, then counselling may help... but again... all you're doing is dreaging up the past... and for what?... i mean, do you actually know what you want?????

    they won't. even if he admits to abusing you... they won't. unless you go first.

    fair enough. but don't expect just sympathetic responses. this is the type of thing which tears families apart. and causes hatred and distress for all those involved. - make sure you have throughly thought it through before you either go to the police or take it further.
    tbh given what you've been through with: current pregnancy, drugs and alcholism in the past like you've said, sexual abuse, etc; haven't you ever had any form of counselling, psychiatry, or talks with social workers, or school pastoral workers or anybody in as similar role before now?????!

    if you do go to the police it will be his word against yours as there is no physical evidence or anyone else saying that this has happened to them. it may not even be put on record,especially if you don't want to press charges, and even if you did you probably wouldn't get very far. the best thing you can do is talk to the rape specialists mentioned in the links. you probably will benefit from counselling.
    its a horrible situation for you and we can be sympathetic, but there is little else we can do. the specialists are the best people to advise you on how to move forward with your life.

    how do you feel this would benefit you?
