Not Stockholm Syndrome exactly. More like I feel guilty about taking him to trial. There wasn't enough evidence to charge him with rape, but he was charged for various offences against children and possession of child pornography. He was found guilty on all charges. I wasn't there when the verdicts were read out, and my aunt said that he broke down crying.
And that's made me feel guilty, because a part of me still wants to protect him. I hate that part of me. I hate feeling guilty for getting justice. It sucks.

FootPrints, this is very common. I think it's probably more common than people let on because they feel guilty about feeling guilty for their offender.

Thanks, it helps to know that I'm not alone in this. Wish there was a way to stop myself from wanting to protect him and feeling guilty for doing this to him, after all that he did to me.

That, often, will stem from a healthy recovery from your assault. When that is healed, the accompanying problems are usually solved.
