I have learned in the past couple of weeks that a close friend and a close friend-in-law were both the subjects of prolonged abuse as children. Neither knew how to grapple with this for years, nor did the people they told have the framework for how to address it.

A girl in my high school went to her parents to let them know her brother had been raping her and they dismissed her out of hand. I think about her all the time. There needs to be a system in place where she would know what to do & the people she confided in would know as well

They need to understand that no one is responsible for what happened to them except the abusers and anyone who enabled them. They are not "flawed" because this happened to them and it does not define them. I am sorry for your friends.
