I hope this helps someone.. I was drugged and raped when I was 17.. Being a Heterosexual male and having as far as I know heterosexual friends made it both difficult to accept and discuss with anyone..

For 26 years I hid this incident, however unbeknownst to myself the incident manifested itself in many different ways over the years and caused numerous nervous breakdowns..

It is never easy to address such tragic life events, especially when you can see no instigation or provocation from your side. However the truth is that I have to live with this.. I can never rewind the time or eradicate the event as the event is now a part of my history...

One thing is for sure, if you dote on the event, it will consume you and if you conceal the event is will almost certainly destroy you..

After 26 years I have now told my Mrs and two friends .. What I have learnt is that I needn't be ashamed and must move forward drawing strength from the situation and I hope anyone reading this can do the same..

Do not let it destroy you no matter how insidious...

Being that I was drugged, it could have been a lot worse and there are a lot worse things happening out there to innocent people daily...

I myself intend to move on gallantly and unashamed .. Should I need to mention it, then no longer will I hesitate.. and those that are repulsed by it should not be those that I associated with ..
