I got raped, I shipout soon
Posted on
Here it goes, I recently got raped by my boyfriend and I don’t feel I can ship out in just a matter of weeks. I don’t know yet if this rape will cause me long term mental health issues, but so far I’m leaning towards yes. I haven’t gone to the authorities, I’m not sure I will.
That being said, I ship out in a matter of weeks. Joining the army has always been a life goal of mine, but I’m not sure if going in my current state of mind is going to work out well for me. I’m scared to tell my recruiter. If I back out of enlisting now, can I enlist later? What should I do? Should I give my recruiter the real reason why I’d back out if I do? Would he believe me? Would he require proof? I’m embarrassed, scared, and ashamed. I’m scared to tell my family, I’m scared to go to the police, I’m scared of my now EX bf. I’m home safe with my family now, but they expect me to be leaving in just a matter of weeks. Please excuse my stupidity, I’m just at a loss right now and need a voice of reason.
