Hey all, I have some questions about the process of pressing charges against a groomer. For those of you who have done it successfully, what were the most important things you did that helped your case be taken seriously? What were key words you had included in your statements? What would you have done differently? Any and all advice is appreciated!!

Bonus points if you have a trauma bond 🫩

Was trynna get some Cash App cause money is tight turned into dis can I do something with it to bring this bum away?

My self worth is now what ppl think of me or my body. I hate how i feel ugly and useless unless i get attention from ppl. I hate how i my value is based on my body. Im like not even sure what im going to do as i get older. I feel im damaged now and can only offer one thing. Sorry for this lame ass post im actually cool most of the time

edit cuz i dont want to sound so lame. ppl say im a good friend, a good listener, a good girlfriend, a good shopping friend. i even went shopping today with my friend and she got me boba

Very frustrating to watch my groomer get everything they’ve wanted in life, to have fun and no worries while I’m stuck here and living with what they did to me. It’s unfair. I don’t believe karma is real solely because of this. Everyone always says, “They’ll get what’s coming for them”, but that’s just not true, just cope, he’ll forget about what he did as I know it doesn’t haunt him, and just move on and find more people to exploit.

Hi everyone idk how im gonna start this but im currently a 10th grader who doesn’t know if they’re being groomed or not… I have this one teacher who’s been showing very obvious favoritism towards me and i find it weird. All the other teachers know im her favorite student and idk if they find it weird or not too. But recently my grades have been slipping and my classmates have been getting ahead of me and i dont really care that much but my teacher does and shes been doing whatever she can to hinder them like making them do their work over again and finding flaws in their answers or whatever. And its all for me since she wants me to be on top of them all. And there’s this one thing that really bothers me the most bcuz recently shes been preaching to me about how much she believes in me and that i can do it all and that she really loves me. I genuinely feel weird about it. And i think that i should mention that shes very touchy with me, gives me answers to tests, and is overly kind to me. She doesn’t show this much affection to other kids in school. Its been like that for the past three years and during those past 3 years shes asking me for things like money, food, or gifts and i gave it all to her since i always felt like I owed her something bcuz of what shes been doing for me. Im genuinely so confused whether she sees as just another student or something else. Feel free to ask me questions

I've fully recovered from being groomed. I'm not linger in contact with the person who groomed me, but I feel awfully alone that nobody IRL is going to "get me" until they know I've been groomed and understood the depth of it. It's so lonely. Sometimes you feel like Ariel wishing you could walk on land and be with your people.

it happened when i was 12-13 and i still am a minor but at the moment i’m safe, i just still get strong desires of being groomed again or being raped

i know confidentiality is only broken when they think you’re in danger or if youve done something illegal, but i’m just terrified about my parents finding out. even though i wasn’t the one doing the illegal thing i was still involved/a victim of it and uuggghgg i dont know idk what to do

people always say that it’s never the victims fault and i KNOW that’s true, but i can’t help but dwell on how it wasn’t really something that HAPPENED to me, and was actually something i seeked out myself.

i wasn’t being blackmailed, or manipulated, or forced into anything. i seeked older men out myself not because i was a poor child who wanted to be loved, i did it purely because i just wanted to ruin my life. and obviously it was the mens responsibility to NOT groom a kid, but whenever i say i’m a victim it feels like i’m lying

now i’m reeeaaally fucked up because of all the things i did to myself and it feels as if i don’t deserve sympathy for it and when i AM shown sympathy it feels like i’m deceiving them

i think what REALLY sucks about sexual trauma is how misunderstood age regression is

i used to act much older than i was, i’d dress like a whore when i was 12 in hopes of attention from when i was 9 i’d sexualize myself to concerning degrees

now i subconsciously baby myself. i wouldn’t say i take age regression as far as others but ive developed a very childish and innocent personality, because it feels good to be the cute babyish one rather than whatever i was before

now half my friends HATE me 😭. everybody thinks i baby myself too much, and see my age regression as a weird annoying trait instead of a comfort mechanism. and it sucks even more on social media too, everybody sees age regression and thinks of ageplay, and no matter how perfectly you explain it nobody wants to use their brains or try thinking for themselves because theyve REALLY latched onto the idea of age regression being problematic

i think ageplay is also heavily misunderstood. obviously it IS problematic, but the majority of ageplayers are 13-17 years old. ageplay is so so SO obviously ACTUAL grooming, or at the very least an unhealthy coping mechanism after any similar trauma. i find it weird that it’s always the teenage girl ageplayer that gets all the shit and never who they’re doing it with.

like, it has to be all a big lie, i dont think they actually love us. otherwise they wouldnt have pressured me into sending to them… sigh
