me and my girlfriend have been dating almost 11 months now, and she recently came out and told me that she got raped 8 months ago, but kept it a secret, out of fear of how him, me, and my parents would react.
now, she's acting like it just happened a week ago, depressed, crying alot, and now she's considering dropping out of school because she cant deal with the stress.
I feel like I ruined her life by getting her to tell the truth. I also feel like its my fault because I might've been able to stop her from being alone with the guy. I'm helping her as best I can through this, but it's kind of effecting me too. whenever I get idle, i cant help but think about/imagine it.
I just have so much bottled up inside right now. I cant talk to her mom because she's abusive, cant talk to my parents about it, its too late to go to the cops, and I dont want to throw my life away by killing him myself.
What can I do to help her more, while coping with it myself?
