I waited far too long to file a report.
I was deeply embarrassed.
I didn't want to cause more trouble.
I knew I'd have to face the fallout later.
One of the biggest reasons I waited so long?
I didn't know what actually counted as a big enough deal to make a report.
And I didn't have a clue where to go to even start the process of making a proper report.
When I finally did try to find help...
I didn't have the words to define what I was living with every single day.
I didn't know which things really mattered to the police, or a judge.
