It’s been 10mths since my daughter was raped, she is doing ok, she is suffering from PTSD and has up and down days, her highs are very high ( hyper ) and her lows are awful, but she is so brave , she mentions the assault sometimes but not too often
She returned to school this week which is a huge step as she didn’t return after the assault, it was just too much, so she has missed a lot of school.
She has refused almost all counselling as she is not ready to talk about it to anyone ( except snippets to us )
Although TUSLA have offered various avenues to her, and those offers will be there for her if and when she’s ready
We are no further along with the case, but we do know that cases like this can take a long time to come to court, but the guards caught them, so it’s just a matter of waiting
Snapmaps proved where she was taken and a friend screenshot her position on the map as she was worried my daughter was no where near home and was worried , sometimes social media apps are worth their wait in gold.
So that’s it for now, thanks for all the replies on my original post, they helped a lot at a time when our world was falling apart.
