I would tell people straight up about how I feel. And not have even held it in at all. Say that it did happen to me and I chose to hold it all in. I know that I would not be the same person at all. It would be constantly eating at me begging me to let it out. I would say she handles it about the same as I do. Manly because I can’t continue to be passive or isolate myself or hiding/ stuffing my emotions along with the truth for long periods of time.
Yes I think I would be able to confide with my mom and my dad as well. Because I would not want any of it to turn into anger at all. But if I was to put myself in her shoes then I know that it would be very hard for me to cope or even deal with my emotions. Because in my eyes she is not handling her stress in a healthy way at all. I know if I do that then I know that I will have more of a shorter hotter temper. I mean just thinking about it is really putting me in her shoes. I know for sure that if that had happened to me that I would not be the same person I was before I had been raped. Mainly because it would be really hard for me to cope with the stress and or anger that I had been choosing tom hold in for so long. I think one of the main reasons of why I feel like this is mainly because I don’t think that I would ever be able to live with myself after I had been raped heck I would not even be the same person I don’t think at all. Do you think that you would be able to cope with it and let it out or be isolated and not tell anyone about it at all and hold it all in? What would you do? Would you do the same thing? Why? Or why not?

i think you need to put your 1st paragraph into a bigger one and make sure you do good detail but you did good on evrything else
yeah well a lot of people would say that they wouldn't hold such a big secret in and they would tell someone. But you never know until it happens to you. When something like that happens its almost like you cant speak at all. Even if you wanted to.
i agree with you because if that happened to me i would be so scared to tell anyone what happened. i would be able to live with myself because i know its not my fault. i know that i didn't cause it. but it would be very hard to deal with. i would feel weird around people that knew but if some people knew they could help me get through it...
I do think that it is the right thing to tell but it is definitely not easy. I'm sure Melinda is having mixed emotions. She might not be handling her stress in the right way but I think she is definitely handling it in the only way she knows how. I think that this was so traumatic to her that she just decided it is easier to bury it and not think about it. However, things get harder because Andy is around all the time.
