Panic/Fear

Sure, there's probably a moment that dealing with your case, the person who abused you, or their family is just pure panic. Believe me-I've been through times where I was afraid for my life. You may be afraid of the person coming to your house, or that you don't have enough evidence that you have to testify, or their family is supporting him, and it hurts. Something that really helps is making a plan for this scenario-whether it's having a day just to chill, or where to go if he comes to your house, or how to say those painful memories. It's not very likely that he will come to your house, because disgusting maggots like those want self preservation, and that would be immediate incrimination. But for your own peace of mind, there are plans you will need to make. Keep a backpack nearby of essentials- a couple dollars, some clothes, a phone, etc. and make sure you have somewhere to go, like your friend's house.
