Attacked by sleepwalker

Submitted by Serendip Visitor on Tue, 06/10/2014 - 3:25am.

My husband has sexually assaulted me, sometimes quite violently, several times while asleep. We have visited family doctors, sleep specialists and psychiatrists for help and everyone just directs us elsewhere. They tell me that I should just leave when this happens, but escaping an unawake attacker much larger than myself is very difficult. Does anyone know of medical professionals who can actually help with this? Is there a good/fast way to wake someone ip under these circumstances?
