I hate hearing about the Stanford rapist.
I've gotten sick of seeing his face all over media. It's triggered memories of my own experience and why I didn't pursue my rapist further than I did. I do not understand why the world can be so cruel.

I'm so sorry you have been triggered
I can't imagine the sort of pain it is to experience something so traumatic and then be triggered on the news on stories that are similar to the abuse you experienced. Have you tried staying away from news sites for awhile, to try to get away from the reports? It sounds like a difficult situation and I am so sorry for your pain. I know the world seems like a cruel place and sometimes it is. However, there are still good people in this world and I hope you are blessed with finding them. You deserve all the happiness and love in the world. If you need to vent about it more, you can also reach out to a listener to vent to.
I'd encourage you to look at our self-help guide on Sexual Abuse if you would like to read suggestions on how to cope. Again, I am so sorry for your pain, I wish you peace and happiness...
Take care
