[QUOTE="DDD, post: 524630, member: 35"] You did well. Now, in my humble opinion, it is time for you to find professional guidance and not "wing it". Even with the best of intentions you could do or say something that would prevent her from moving forward in a healthy way. Although very limited abuse was involved with one of my girls as a small child I know I had a really hard time keeping my mouth shut. I wanted to talk to a relative or a friend just to ease the burden that I had assumed. I'm very glad that I "manned" up and kept my mouth shut. I found a Pediatrician who specialized in sexual abuse and my child and I drove two hours each way for the appointment. I got that referral only by speaking directly to our Pediatrician so I didn't have to be concerned about office staff chatting. There are also National sexual abuse hotlines and often even centers for abused children that can be used for resources. I suggest that you behave normally and with caring so she doesn't feel cornered or fearful that her admission is going to ruin her life as she knows it. Saying prayers that you can find the right method for you both. DDD [/QUOTE]
