Contains sexual abuse - police investigation
so... i have not posted in A/B before so here is a bit of history :
sexually and physically abused from age 4- 15 by 4 different people,
miscarriages at 13 and 15 (from the abuse).
i went to the police and told them everything recently in a very traumatic 4 hour video interview and they arrested one of the men and they were taking him to court and prosecuting him. i felt worried by this as i was worried about my safety from him, but the police put out a restraining order so he couldn't come near me. so i was relieved. but then a couple of days ago i get a phone call saying that the police are dropping the case, i was shocked upset and annoyed. and now it makes me feel like i went through all that for nothing. all those hours of recalling and them teasing it out of me and there wont even be a conviction, i feel beaten up emotionally. what was the point of doing an interview if the police will just drop the case with no warning?
i wrote a letter to my old psych recently and he said that at least the police have his dna on file now (apparently they collect it when they arrest someone) so if he does it to someone else then they have dna evidence to match it to. which i guess is good. but having him in jail and on the sex offenders register would have been better. im so confused about it all and i have no one to talk about it too , hence why im posting on here.
im not sure what i hope to gain from this post but maybe someone who has been in the same situation could have some advice for me?
