[Serious] Men of Reddit who have been raped by women, what happened, did you tell anyone, and did they take you seriously?

This is painful for me to post, but here it goes. I was 14, and only son of a poor but managing family. I was a good student and had decent friends. One new guy moves in the school and in neighborhood with his mother, parents divorced. Because his father was rich and used to give him lots of money for being away, he had lots of things to brag about in the school. Inspite of myself, I couldn't help but be drawn to him and we became fast friends with him paying for burgers etc for me during lunch. Soon we had our study club and he would get snacks and stuff for the whole group and he quickly became popular and had our trust. Once after exams he invited us over to his house for partying and that was where we all had our first taste of alcohol under his mothers eyes. We all thought his mother was so cool. During the next party however, We all drank too much and as my house was the fathest the mother insisted I sleep at their house. During that night I found her touching me.When I woke up she led me to her room and despite protests however unconsciously she raped me. She took photographs as well. The next morning fully conscious I confronted her and she showed me the pics with a story of how I raped her. I was terrified and this resulted in her blackmailing me for sex for 3 years.

I went from a bright student to an alcoholic.

I became distant from my parents. THis hurt my father the most.

I found myself again when she moved to London to be with her new rich husband. Went into rehab. Took another course and degree. Slowly slowly I got my personality back. Got a job. I actively participate in the office sports games. But I still cannot be in a relationship with anyone. Will take time but I'm hopeful.

I told about this to the son who was also my bestfriend and he beat me up for spreading lies about his mother. I couldnt tell my parents. No therapists so far.
