Is it normal to fall in love with your rapist?

Long story short , I(18) was raped by my half-cousin(26) which means we only share one grandparent.His mom and mine have the same mother different fathers. He took my virginity both vaginal and anal that night.When all was done I was hurt and bleeding and crying yet..... over the course of 3 months in 2014 I continued to have sex with him almost every night .He would message me to come over to sodomize me and stupidly I'd go. Now that I am 21 I still fantasize and long for him at night until the point where I masturbate about the attack.He no longer is in contact with me now that I've told a little over a year ago.Also last year 2015 I was diagnosed with PTSD, Depression, violent flashbacks and some other stuff by two doctors . I've notice my outburst and anger has become more violent since they cant convict him because i stayed .....

It's the effects from PTSD 3

    It is normal for this to happen (although not common) - it's similar to stockholm sydrom in how it works - basically, you are trying to retrospectively normalise an abnormal and distressing situation. You need to talk to a rape councilor about this.

    if you truely liked the sex then it wasnt rape

    • It was rape at first , and that is actually documented with the cops they just can't fully charge him with rape because I stayed, it's on his record tho....you have to know the full story which you don't so I can understand your comment

        cause you stayed? lol sounds like maybe you were just scared to speak out, or even though he raped you, you didnt want him to get into trouble
