im in way over my head. I cant cope-i cant. sorry, this should probably have a trigger warning.
The defense tore my into shreds today.
In the space of 2 1/2 hors, i was portrayed as a drunk student girl, a druggie, a slut, someone who 'just changed their mind', a headcase, a liar, and someone who who had a 'grievance' and was jealous.erm yeh.the only grievance i have is that i feel like im the one on trial here.
But that i could cope with.That i expected, and knew it was coming. I knew they would make a massive deal of me not telling anyone at the hospital what happened-but i was mashed on the drugs i was spiked with. I was scared of the police, who said i had a weak case, and then having noone belive me didnt make me feel that inclined to go back to the police.I mean, noone in that situation would make it even more shitter for themselves.
But that,I could deal with, just about.It was shit, i cried, and i puked from anxiety.
but talking about my termination-oh, im sorry, 'alleged' termination in court is NOT ON. They were trying to make out that i was a slag-from a catholic family, pregnant, and needed a reason to have a termination that my family would except. OH GO FUCK YOURSELVES DEFENSE. my family hated me anyway. and since i had an abortion because i was RAPED (a fact you convieniantly forget) your logic is twisted anyway.
I hate this.Im tired of going over and over what happened-dont they get how immensly painful it is. everyone looking at me as i break down. And on it goes tomorow, becasue i was too upset to continue today.
icing on the cake-they spent most of yesterday trying to get my evidence disregarded due to my depression-apparantly the defense doubt my 'mental capacity to recall the true event'.
oh excuse me for being ill.Might i point out that your fucking client is half the reason im ill in the first place.
i.hate.this. i dont know how i can get through this again tomorow.
i got back early this evening to the hotel, and dismanteled the convieniently provided disposable razor from the bathroom.i looked at it for a really long time. they are still on the side, mocking me.i want to do the most unbelievable damage to myself right now. I cant let myself, becasue i dont think id stop until i was dead, And a ridiculous a reason as it is-well im not dying until that bastard has got eerything thats coming to him.

vics, you are worth so much more than that razor. I'm sending you strengths.
I'm so sorry to hear what happened in court today, but please remember that what they are implying is NOT TRUE. You know the truth, people in your life who love and care for you know the truth. These are the people who are sticking around, not these lawyers.
Oh honey, I wish I could come give you a hug.
Please know I'm thinking of you. You are amazing.

what you are going through is horrible, I can't even imagine it! That bastard shouldn't even get a hearing, its just like his chance to victimize you all over again! It's just not right! I am so, so sorry all this has happened to you. I know it's not much, as I'm on the other side of the Atlantic, but I just want you to know that someone in Iowa is rooting for you!
I think you are exactly right--you need to stay around to make sure that bastard gets what's coming to him. This is so wrong, I can't even begin to describe it. I love you so much and I'm thinking about you.
Too true - you stick around hun and make sure that creep doesn't get away with it. It sounds awful the way you are being treated...how dare they attack a vulnerable person...how lawyers can sleep at night I've no idea. You're better than the lot of them Vics - remember that.
Hugs
