“I’m so sorry you went through that. I also went through sexual abuse as a child, and I told my parents when I was 12 years old (three years after the abuse). They did absolutely nothing about it and just swept it under the rug.

At 13 I went to counseling, and then as the years went by I was in and out of therapy because I was sexually assaulted by my ex-brother-in-law. And just like with my childhood sexual abuse, nothing was done. I regret not pressing charges, and my family wasn’t encouraging me to do so, either.”
