It's a very difficult one to answer. My situation was a livestream video sting, so I had no choice.
Reading about people's experiences, it seems to vary.
When I expressed my suprise about the positive support I received to a friend, she asked how I would have been had it been her, I said I would have been supportive, she said yes people make friends with people like themselves, who share the same values and beliefs....so I should have expected my friends to support me. I don't know if that is true, but it makes sense.
I know I would have found it difficult to have got through and healed from this trauma without support.
Hooing for the very best outcome for you.

Thank you .. yes its very hard .. so I run a risk really whatever I choose haha.. I either don't say anything and pray it doesn't hit papers or I tell them and face the music and it doesn't hit papers I've told them for no reason haha..
