Hello everyone,

Welcome to my little corner of Reddit. I'm a 35 year old survivor of sexual abuse and rape. This all started in 2013 and spread out over the years until 2019. Rapes only happened twice in those years. Not only that, he emotionally and mentally abused me, blackmailing me with throwing me out on the street only to say later on that he was joking. Well in December 2019 thanks to my social worker I was able to find an apartment of my own and move the hell out of that situation. When I tried telling people they would always say "he's older than you, you could have just pushed him off." No, I was terrified I couldn't move! Or this one is my favorite, "men can't be raped."

Well, fast forward to today, my partner's mom contacts me trying to get a hold of my partner to tell her that her grandparents died. Well her grandfather just so happens to be my rapist and abuser. He slowly died from lung cancer, and being abused by his helper. Karma's a bitch and I'm overjoyed that he can't hurt another person, but my partner says that my revenge has been payed over threefold and I shouldn't be happy. But I'm not happy. I'm mad, I'm sad, I'm confused, I'm all kinds of emotions at once. I don't know what to feel.
