What will happen to Charlotte? Who will find her? Who will she tell? How will she cope with it all? These are just some of the many questions that are playing on my mind right now after seeing ‘Private Practice season 4 episode 5’ a few hours ago. After the episode had aired to television, many of my Private Practice and Charlotte-Cooper Twitter followers were asking me the exact same questions. This is why I thought to write a blog on what I think might happen after Charlotte (KaDee) is attacked, based on my own personal rape attack experience.
We are all aware of Charlotte King’s Rape Attack and are expecting to see it at the end of next week’s 'Private Practice season 4 episode 6', but are we all prepared to what we are about to see? I know I’m not, but in order to prepare myself for this heartbreaking attack to my girl Charlotte (KaDee) I have reassure myself that what i see is not real. I also have to tell myself that it's not happening to KaDee Strickland who plays Charlotte off 'Private Practice'. It sounds stupid i know! I mean i know it's fiction and not real life but my brain is telling me it is, so it makes me question what is going to happen next with Charlotte.
My thought on Private Practice Rape Story
After Charlotte (KaDee) is brutally attacked in 'Private Practice Season 4 episode 6' I reckon she will not confide in anyone other than the doctor who has to examine her and the person who finds her beaten up. I don’t think Cooper (Paul) will find out from Charlotte what happened, but I do think he will find out from one of the others. Charlotte will most likely be very quiet and not open to talk about the attack as she probably feels embarrassed.
My Personal Experience
Like Charlotte, when I was attacked I did not want anyone to know, including my boyfriend at the time. It’s very embarrassing and shameful for the one who has to sadly experience this and we don’t even want to tell our doctors the truth. We just want to go home, move on with life and forget it ever happened because this is how I felt except it didn’t turn out like this.
My thought on Private Practice Rape Story
Cooper (Paul) will probably feel guilty about not being able to rescue Charlotte (KaDee) from the attack as he will also feel responsible for not being with her at the time. Cooper will feel helpless and will not know what to do and will not know how to comfort her. We know for a fact that Cooper will not want to leave Charlotte alone or by herself ever because he will want to protect her from this ever happening again.
My Personal Experience
I don’t know what it’s like to be a partner of someone who has been raped or attacked but I do know how my ex-boyfriend felt when it happened to me because we discussed it months later. He told me that it is the most unbearable feeling in the world not being able to control the situation. He wished he was there at the time instead of being at his friend’s place. For weeks he would be by my side and would follow me everywhere. He was very protective of me and promised he would find this creep and give me justice, but I wouldn’t let him. I wouldn’t tell him what I could remember so he wouldn’t get involved. I just wanted to move on from it and I thought I had until I heard about the ‘Private Practice’ Rape Story.
My thought on Private Practice Rape Story
Cooper(Paul) will most likely be very clingy to Charlotte (KaDee) and in time she will lean into him but at first Charlotte will go back to her old ways. Charlotte will put up her brick wall again to show that she is strong and that she doesn’t need help. I don't think it will last for long because she will realize that she can’t do it by herself. She will need Cooper more than ever and even though she will push him away at first, he will know that she wouldn’t be able to get through it without him. Hence why he would never leave her.
My thought about Private Practice Rape story
It must be bad enough for Charlotte (KaDee)to get brutally attacked then raped but having to deal with its ramifications afterwards, is catastrophic. Poor Charlotte will not want anyone to touch her and she will even not want her Cooper (Paul) touching her for a while. Because she was violated sexually and we all know that Charlotte loves sex especially with Cooper, we will probably see her turn away from it. She will no doubt avoid being touched by Cooper and will not want to have sex but the man that Cooper is, he will understand why and be by her side no matter what. Cooper loves Charlotte so much that he would never pressure her into doing something that she is not ready for. He is a good man, he is her man, and he would never walk away from her.
My Personal Experience
I know when I was raped I didn’t want to be touched by anyone, even the doctors who had to see to me. It just reminds you of the whole attack and it makes you feel that it is happening again. When my boyfriend tried to be intimate with me after the attack, I know I just couldn’t do it. I would hyperventilate and have panic attacks constantly and it took me a good 6 months to finally overcome that. Every person is different so for some people it may be longer or shorter to overcome these after effects.
Private Practice Conclusion
We all know that no matter what happens after Charlotte’s attack it will never be the same again for the lives of ‘Private Practice’. It will not just change the lives of Charlotte and Cooper, but it will also change the rest of Ocean Side wellness Group as well. They are a family and in a family if one person gets hurt they all do too, it’s as simple as that.
It will be a roller-coaster ride for Charlotte and Cooper with ups and downs but thank goodness for Shonda’s promise to us all. If you don’t know what promise she made to us, it was the fact that they will still get married and be together throughout the entire ordeal. I trust her that this promise will be kept, after-all she is the brains behind this fantastic show so what she says I believe. What will happen to Charlotte after the attack? I only know what I have seen or heard and I may be completely wrong, so it’s best to keep watching.
