Thank you for the kind words, and the generous offer.
I don't feel comfortable calling this rape. I feel like doing so would make the word too nebulous, and take away from what it means in terms of forcible sex. I would call it sexual assault, immoral, coercion, taking advantage, etc.
I am going to see a counselor through my campus mental health center - I don't really want to talk to a group, I just want to talk to one person at a time. I can't make an appointment until Monday, though. I might call a hotline tomorrow if it feels urgent.
