Hello , I am an 20 year old girl. I have faced a lot of issues associated with sexual harrasment. I fought everytime but never told my parents. But last week I opened up to them and their response shook me and I am messed up . I also confessed that I want to go to a therapy .....My mom says - It is your mistake to get touched by someone , it is your clothes that make guys stare at you (I wear decent clothes to college , shirts or long length kurtas ) . Mental health is just a myth . You are not an actress to have all these. .....My dad says - Your clothes are the mistake . They attract guys to do all sorts of things. Just forget it now cuz it's done . What do you want to do by revolting against it ? Therapy is for weak minded people , who have a lot of money . Their responses and reactions have left me disturbed . It's been 2 weeks to this and there hasn't been a single night I don't think about this . I am not able to take in that my parents told this.
In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.
