[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 691460, member: 11832"] ksm, I totally understand why your daughter won't discuss the rape. When I was 21, I was raped by a trusted family friend. I told no one. For years. I felt violated, betrayed, dirty, and terrified. I thought about prosecuting him, but I knew my personal history would be dragged through the court, and I could not face the embarrassment of it. I think your daughter knew this person and the betrayal of her trust is impeding her ability to discuss it. She thought she knew him. She thought he was someone who would listen to her. She thought she had good judgment, and she was wrong. She doesn't yet realize that some men take advantage of women and don't care how they feel. [/QUOTE]
