revictimization whump hits so good is the thing.
whumpee who was abused as a child is abused as an adult. it ruined them, they can't be handled any other way, they need to be shouted at or hit or shoved to keep them in line.
whumpee who was raped is raped again by someone else and raped again and they start to think well nobody gets raped this many times, this is my fault. this has to be my fault.
the fear. the silence. the guilt, the shame, the this has to be about me at this point. they wonder if people can smell it on them. they wonder if it's ever going to stop. they wonder if they can even tell someone - who is going to believe someone could let this happen to them twice. and besides, what's to say that person won't hit them, won't call them words they can't repeat, won't touch them?
