I just want someone to talk to who will understand how I feel
It is irrelevant what you were wearing, how much you had to drink or whether you were in your own home or out for the evening – you did not ask to be raped. The blame is entirely the perpetrators. If you have not given your consent to have sexual relations or were unable to give your consent (asleep, passed out, drunk etc.) then this is also rape. For Frequently asked questions (FAQ's) and myths about rape and abuse please click 'FAQ's in the main navigation to the left of the page.
