I reported my old teacher for sexual abuse and I don’t know how to feel about it.

I’m 23, when I was 15 my 27 year old teacher had a 2 year relationship with me, we kissed, met up outside of school and he xxxx me occasionally. When I was 17 it ended officially because I came out as gay, he supported me a lot and has helped me ever since, any mile stone in my life he is there but I’ve been struggling to come to terms with the fact that he sexually abused me because I was 15 I should’ve known better. He would buy me things and would threaten to kill himself if I ever told anyone. Now after 8 years I reported it to my school, they’ve contacted the police and the police want me to support them in the investigation but he has a gf and children and he may have changed since then. Am I doing the right thing?

So, you say you're 23...

Yet 3 months ago you created 3 different threads in which you said you were 24, 25 and 22 respectively. It's kind of hard to believe someone who has such a loose regard for simple details.

I change my age to stay anonymous, that being said I actually turn 23 in august. My age now isn’t really that big of a detail but for this one I thought it would be best to be more accurate.

You're anonymous anyway, so that's utterly irrelevant. I stand by my original opinion.

Not really, the information in my other posts is incredibly accurate, I made the same mistake on Reddit and a family member came across the post and instantly connected it to me. This one I didn’t mind sharing my actual age because none of my family and friends are aware of the situation so it wouldn’t be possible for them to connect it to me.

I've read them all. I doubt Sherlock Holmes could work out who you are, even with the swapping between partners.

You could just put a tick in the 'Post anonymously' box. I assume it's there for stuff like this. Though I'm guessing your user name is kind of anonymous. I'm doubtful with such broad details anyone could link.

Assuming you are being straight with us on this one, you say you don't know how you feel about it? How so?

Trust me my gf would 100% figure it out if she saw the post.
