Rape Victim?

Yesterday morning I became another unfortunate victim of sexual assault. I'm trying my best to cope but my husband is falling apart. He's in the military and they're requiring him to go to counseling to monitor him and see if he's still stable enough to carry his weapon. If not, they're going to honorably discharge him due to medical reasons... I don't want this to happen to my husband. I know what happened is not my fault but it'll be a heavy burden knowing what happened caused him to have to give up something he loves so much... I'm also going to counseling starting tomorrow and I hope it helps. I'm doing pretty good on my own since yesterday. I've finally got my food to stay down and my nerves aren't as jumpy as before. Maybe tomorrow will look a little better and my husband will do okay at his session. I'm asking everyone who reads this to please pray for me. :) Thanks.

Thank you for all your supportive answers... :)

I am so sorry for this awful event that has happened in your life.

I know your husband may lose a job that he loves very much, but clearly he loves you even more and thats a bigger priority to him. On the bright side of that, when you both recover im sure he will get a much better job.

I hope you have family and friends to assit you through these hard times.

You will need to take 1 day at a time and understand that time does heal all wounds.

Good Luck and <3

I will pray for you!

I'm so sorry about everything that has happened. I will definately pray for you and your husband.

I'm so sorry for you.
I prayed to my granny and grandad, and god.
And I also thanked them, because I was molestered for many years, but never raped. I think they were probably to thank, my granny and grandad.
But anyway, good luck!

I am so so so sorry, this is something that no one should ever have to go thru. my heart and my prayers go out to you in this hard time.

I prayed for both you, and your husband.
I further ask that your attacker will be caught, so no one else will suffer from his insanity.

I will pray for you. But don't forget, everything happens for a reason. I wonder if God wants you and your husband in a different area of ministry. Is there something lately that you've been wanting to get into, but haven't because of other commitments? Excuse me if I sound like a fortune cookie, but maybe you're opportunity is coming up. Be supportive of your husband, and let him know that you need his support.

that's the best thing any of us can do and i'll pray for you too!

I will surely pray for you and your husband today. And don't forget that God is in control of your life. He will be always there at your side. Sometimes things comes unexpected and harm us. Time easily fies and the wound will be healed. Take care. Life has to move on. Life is beautiful. There's always a rainbow after the storm.

Call 1 800 656 HOPE (1 800 656 4673 ???) Go to: www.rape-victim-support.com and http://www.vaonline.org/support.html and http://www.rainn.org/ Be aware of the possibility of PTSD, later. Keep the following in a file/drawer, etc., somewhere: http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris on page 33. Seek counselling, preferably through a specialist center, like a women's refuge. Tell your husband that you are feeling much better, (even if you aren't!: sometimes little white lies are acceptable, to help others, even though you would prefer not to have to tell them). I'd also tell him that you want to take self defence classes, and learn how to use a handgun, so you won't fall victim again, and he won't have to worry about you, when he is away, and for him to tell the counselor that. He should consider taking something like Valerian, to help him relax, through the counselling session (but not drive, himself, until he knows how it affects him).

God Bless you & your husband.

i dont quite understand--- your husband was the one who assaulted you?
