No two victims react to sexual assault in exactly the same way.
Feelings can range from anger, frustration, fear, shame and guilt to numbness.
These are all normal feelings. Demands placed on you to make important medical and legal decisions, only a short time after the crime, may intensify these feelings. Even the most well-meaning, supportive family and friends may not comprehend the situation or your emotional state right away. While family, friends and even you may wish to review the crime to determine how it might have been prevented-this can be an unnecessary and painful experience. Rape can and does happen to anyone .
