I was date raped by a friend, and didn't tell anyone until a year afterwards. I was told by cops that I had waited too long, which I had expected to hear. What I didn't expect was to be called a slut and a liar and be yelled at by the detectives. I still haven't forgiven the cop, I'm still angry and hurt about that.
My mom, however, takes the cops side repeatedly, saying she was just doing her job and reminding me I shouldn't have been drunk, or it wouldn't have happened to begin with. She hasn't forgiven my rapist. I have. The cop, no. But I did forgive him. What would you say I should say to my mom about all of this? What's your advice?
