I finally spoke up for myself.
I did it I spoke up. A few weeks ago I posted about how I was touched inappropriately will attending my congregation. Well after weeks of talking with my T and others in my support network. I first spoke to the Rabbi and he was very concerned and troubled. He was very supportive and encouraged me to speek up and not alow others to treat me in that manner he said that such behavior will not be tolerated and if this person will do this again to me or others he will be asked to leave. So I called him and told him what he did was making me uncomfortable and that I was not attending the congregation do to this he did not defend himself he said in his words " I creeped you out" I said yes and that he can not touch me. I feel that I am victorious over this power that controled me that power of fear to say no, stop, or I don't like that. One of the reasons I was scared is that in the past when I wss abused I did say no I did not submit but in the end violence was used to make me submit to his will. Untill I fought my way out literally and never to return. But after that when I was cornered I ether submited or used violence to protect my self this time I did nether I spoke up and hope to continue doing so. Thanks to all of the men here that have posted and to thoughs that have just read my and others posts it shows that you care.
