Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health Hey there,
I had a rape incident back in may, and I am studying out of the country so I live by myself, it happened at home with someone I trusted for a long time. After that, I cried for like a month, stopped talking to my friends, and was very hurt. I am living with my mom rn, and I’m thinking about telling her, but am not sure how she would react, if she would handle it well, say the right things (cause I’m still very sensitive when it comes to that topic) but I don’t wanna wait years either to tell her. What are the pros of telling your mom about it? Or it is better to wait till you’re completely healed?
Should I tell my mom I’ve been raped?

Talk to her or another respected, honest and discreet adult in your life ASAP.
Hell yes you should. For your own sanity. Don’t keep things like that to yourself. Talk to somebody and get it taken care of now.
I think you should open up when you are ready, and care your case to court. If he did that to you, he may as well did it to someone else, and will certainly seek for other victims.
*More sooner than later.
I don't think you should. People don't take it easy and please don't blame yourself. You are the victim even if you knew the person you were not married to him
You should tell your mom
you should definitely call the police!!!
Yes and please go the police as well.
The sooner the better. I’m sorry that happened to you...
You may never be healed. It may help if she knows.
I'm sorry that happened to you... did you report it?
I think it depends on what type of person your mother is. Is she the type that'll scold you and blame you for putting yourself in a situation where that can happen? Or is she really sympathetic and will be open, nurturing and supportive?
If she's the latter then go talk to her.
I think only you can answer that based on your relationship with mom. But it definitely sounds like a therapist could be needed. That’s serious trauma. I think you should report it to police. It’s not too late you know.
Yes tell the police too
You must report that time
But if you have any mental burden you can talk to your mom
Talk to mum and take her advice which might involve the police and he deserves nothing less.
tell her.
its already too late.
It would be better if you do tell her.
i learned this from watching the news.
Dont tell anybody or the police. wait 20-30 years until he runs for office and then if he represents a different political party you should come out with the accusations in the most public setting but dont really have any evidence to support you
No you not have to do anything if you aren’t comfortable, including telling certain people.
Its the police you should be talking to.
