[QUOTE="buddy, post: 524622, member: 12886"] I agree with the others and will add that a huge shameful problem many of us have is that it might not have hurt. There are confusing feelings when there is a physical feeling that is kind of pleasant and then guilt for feeling that even when you did not choose to have the experience and said no. Some people dont even say no as children, they dont realize they can or it happens before they even realize or they may even "want it" in terms of attention and the nice feelings....NONE of that matters. A child can NOT consent to anything sexual. So just be supportive and let the sorting out of details and "truth" be on the shoulders of the therapist, police (if she chooses that) and herself. Bless your heart for being there for her. It is complex and her story may change just because she is confused or worried, not to be a PITA or because she is lying. [/QUOTE]
