Hi depnet Buddies!

To update you, my firend who was having problems with his sexuality is feeling better and home after his suicide attempt. He regrets trying and I think he is starting to accept that he is gay. I try to assure him that his sexuality is only one aspect of his life and that I and his friends love him and won't care. however I guess its still difficult to come to terms with.

Also I finally got in contat with my girlfriend who was being raped by her father. I'm so relieved to hear her voice and to know she is alive...but she is not doing well and I wish she would listen to her psych and tell her mother and go to the police and expose him. But she is too scared, she is 23 now and so it's not my place
to go to the police. But I wish I could.

Thank you all for your comments it helped me not to get overwhelmed. I am feeling good and realize I can only support them, I can't solve thier problems because I have to look after myself 1st. I love my friends so much though and just want them to be happy too.

I have finally let go of my destructive relationship I had with my boss. I haven't seen him since I resigned but I can tell you that my heart is no longer troubled by it. I realize that I can not allow men to abuse me in anyway ever again.

I feel more confident and though I have bad days still I seem to be surviving them.

I don't know what I would do with out your support. I am so grateful to have friends on net and in real life :)

Glad your friends are okay and you have contacted them both.

Glad to hear you are not missing your ex boss. That is the best decision you have made for yourself.

Go Blue!!!

I am really pleased you removed yourself from that oh so damaging work environment. My belief is that next time a bad situation is in front of you, you will bypass it because you have learnt what it can do to you and how hard it is to break free. Plus, now you are of value to your friends as well....good on you Bluewave.

I asm glad things are progressing for you.

Under NSW law a person who is deemed to have knowledge of a criminal offence (as in your friends incestial rape ongoing)is obliged to inform the police.

This girls psychologist must surely be aware of that but perhaps she is under the banner of professional care and therefore is maintaining confidentialiy. The confidnetiality argument can not extend when the person is in all likelihood going to be subject to furterh offences. However you are not bound by an issue of confidentiality or duty of care but you are still bouond by NSW law.

I know this all sounds heavy handed but I did want you to be aware.

No body deserves to be raped by any one and particulrly not thier own father, the lifelong consequences are herrendous. I was raped at 14 very violently and left for dead, I crry this feeling every day and I did not tell anyone, I doubt they would have listened at that stage anyway, but I have paid heavily over the last 30 years.

Please step up and step in and help her, this man should be arrested, jailed and left to rot.

I was just wanting to give yo al the facts.


Take care and plese continue on the way you are heading, it is fantastic things are workling well most days

Please
"But she is too scared, she is 23 now and so it's not my place to go to the police. But I wish I could"

You can and you should, but you will make up your own mind


Best of everything to you for continued strength and good days
