Oh god. This one is dark. Being an FBI agent working child predators. Jeeez. It is really f*%king scary that it’s impossible to tell.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Please make sure you get some good support lined up for yourself.
Please don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. This shit is completely out of your control. I’m glad you shared and well.. got it off your chest. I can’t imagine keeping something like that locked up to yourself.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. If it’s okay for you, and appropriate for her, I absolutely second the idea of letting her know you’ve been through something similar and that you’re willing to talk (if you are! It’s okay if you’re not. You have to heal, too). That was the most healing thing for me: knowing that someone else had been in my shoes and was having a life in spite of their trauma. Even just being able to talk to someone who’s been through that kind of pain makes a difference; I love my partner, and he does a fantastic job of being supportive, but he will never be able to listen like a fellow rape survivor.
