Hi Palm tree – I’m so pleased you’ve found NAPAC helpful, that’s brilliant to hear. It sounds like you’ve had to survive a lot, and not always had the support and belief of the people closest to you. That takes a lot of strength, and to rebuild your life in the wake of this.
If you did feel it would be helpful to have a listening ear to share more of this with, Survivors UK or Rape Crisis could offer this – neither is a route to informing the police unless that’s something you request. They are both confidential services that will meet you where you are and not pressure you into anything you don’t want. But it’s about what makes most sense for you hear.
Thanks again for sharing,
The helpline team
