You are not alone. You are not to blame.
Here are some resources to support victims of crime who need help. While I haven’t personally used every one of them, I’ve found each to be worth sharing. Please note that these resources are not a substitute for law enforcement or legal advice. Every situation is different. Trust your instincts, and do what feels safest for you.
