i don’t want to post this on reddit, i fear it is too bad to post there. i don’t know. i want to be anonymous ,
for context
i was raped a little over a year ago, when it happened i decided i wasn’t going to let him get away with it. i reported while still in shock and bleeding from my injuries. this paid off because he got arrested pretty quick. they found abuse material on his computer, they got FIVE different types of his dna on me (disgusting.) he admitted to it in county jail, and we have a strong case…

i am terrified of going to court. i dont know if its fear or just a trauma response or just. anxiety?
i had to move to avoid being stalked by my rapist. thankfully my boyfriend had me move in. i met him shortly after the trauma occurred and when i finally felt comfortable enough we started dating.
he wants absolutely nothing to do with going to court.
he doesn’t want to miss work.

i don’t know if im being unreasonable. my family wasn’t very supportive of me and if im going there by myself i will be staying with them.
he doesn’t miss work for anything but.. i feel this is something i need from him.
my mental had been DEEPLY affected by this. i need him to be there for me.

i need advice.

You can do it even without his presence. Youll know what to say. Still its not unreasonable to ask if ur bf can join. Maybe his job schedule is tight or theres some other bs complications though.

it is a really tight schedule and money is tight as well. i think i just really don’t want to be away from him and have to be in the town it happened in :(
