I was 19 at the time. Moved to a state across the country for a job. Met a few people there I hung out with daily. Went to one of the bars with them one night. We had met up with some people they knew. We had ordered a drink but by the time the drinks came back my friends said they were leaving and were coming right back. I got my drink and was still with the two men who my friends knew. Drank the one drink then about 20 minutes later started feeling so unbelievably sick. I know myself and I know I didn’t feel this way from one drink. Wasn’t a normal drunk. Felt sick. Started sweating, my head was feeling so heavy and my body was loosing control of itself. I had seen a girl who I have met before in town. So I had asked her to help me I thought I was dying. I was so confused. I remember getting into a car with her and then walking up stairs somewhere and that was it. I woke up in a hotel room, with a man I didn’t know on top of me. I was still out of it but I was just saying stop stop please I don’t feel good. Please stop I don’t know you. That girl I knew was nowhere to be found. She left me with some random guy and I don’t even know if she knew him. after when I could get up I went downstairs and got help from the hotel employee. To this day, I continue to blame myself for being at that bar. For going up to a girl I barley knew to help me. But I’m starting to realize that I was a victim. I’m a very nice girl and there’s bad people out there who take advantage of your kindness. I’m sharing this story so every girl out there who hasn’t gone through this kind of thing can learn even though you think your invisible and this won’t happen to you. It can. Cause that’s what I thought. I didn’t think I could put myself in that sort of situation but it can happen. And for the woman who have been through this. WE ARE VICTIMS. It isn’t our fault. We’re not gross we can’t forget but we can overcome this and help other woman.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It is a huge step to acknowledge that you were victimized. I hope in time you come to see that there is nothing about what happened to you that is your fault. It is very easy to blame yourself, but you didn’t put yourself in this situation. You did nothing wrong. Your message is so important – this does not define you and it says nothing about who you are. Please know that my thoughts are with you. You are incredibly brave. Light, love, and solidarity ~ Alissa
You are very brave and honest to share this story. Better your insights are sometimes forgotten when we want to get along with people. or to be accepted. I recently have made the mistake of trusting people whom I should have never trusted. In a couple of incidents I was fooled by people who posed as reasonable people. These people were bad and took advantage of my trust. Many of them pose as religious people. They are sociopathic. They pretend to be kind folks, but after they begin their sob story, they start by saying “I was ripped of a huge sum of money. ”
When the story begins to unravel, I realized that I was being conned by a woman who was going to take advantage of me.
Further religious nuts pretend to be reasonable. But they are sociopaths who lie and attempt to destroy reputations, they slander.
I have many times been attacked by Christians. Too many times to count.
Be careful.
