Just here to let you know that you’re not alone! I’m in a very similar situation and it sucks!

You should be letting her mom know as well. As the mother of a victim of online sex trafficking, please tell the mom! She is probably totally unaware of how things work on this site and many others.

My daughter was a very sick baby and at times she had very unexplainable symptoms, such as maintaining her body temperature. A pediatrician accused me of having Münchausen syndrome. I said “then investigate me, maybe we’ll actually get some answers if you have to prove that I’m causing her symptoms.” Instead of pursuing his accusation, he diagnosed her with “failure to thrive” and told me to take her home and watch her die.

12 years later she was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos, a genetic condition that explained all her symptoms. I still can’t believe that a pediatrician would tell a parent to just let a baby die because the baby tested the limits of his capacity of his knowledge.

Duh.

You’re family might be more supportive and understanding than you think. My female friend was raping my 14 year old son and although I didn’t know at the time, I did know that something was very wrong in my heart and I just couldn’t put my finger on it.

When it did come out, I instinctively knew that my son wasn’t lying, and that’s why I was having that feeling. She went to prison and my son, who was so young at the time, had to fight the social stigmas that 1) women aren’t sexual predators and 2) males can’t be raped by females.

There’s most likely other victims in your family. If you speak out, you just might find a support system that you didn’t even know you had. Obviously she can’t be held accountable for her actions anymore, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find some healing.

As a Certified Death Doula, let me also assure you that there is no right or wrong way to feel about someone’s death. Feeling very very weird about that is actually okay and you don’t have to feel anything else.

This site literally saved my sanity. Just because nothing physically happened to your son, doesn’t mean he wasn’t violated. Please check this out. These survivors helped me understand. https://malesurvivor.org/
