This was 36 years ago, and it still has an impact on my life!
In my second year of college, there was a party in the dorms where everyone brought in their choice of alcohol and they dumped everything into a garbage can. I was very drunk by the end of the party and felt very sick. I went into the bathroom and was puking in the stall. Another guy came into the stall and talked to me, but then he wouldn’t let me out of the stall until I pleased him.
This haunted me for years. I kept on thinking it was fault, that I let it happen. When I felt I was growing as a Christian, the enemy would accuse me with this saying, “How can you be a good Christian when that happened!!” Also, I was starting to feel unsure about my sexual identity. (I am straight, am I??)
In my 30s, I did get counseling and I thought I had come to terms with this.
But in my 50's it comes back again to haunt me and to cope, I ended up going to adult chat rooms, and eventually developed a female lesbian identity, resulting in tearing apart my marriage.
Back in counseling again
