3. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

I hope that eventually you had someone that did care and help? We'll be here for you now if you need. No one should have to hear that, I'm so, so sorry.

I was very lucky I had my brother but I also had the rest of my family as well.

As wonderful as my grandmother was and as much as I love(d) her I could see her reacting in a similar way. She would have thought it was ok to just clean up and move on. When we'd discovered my niece was molested she said 'good folks didn't talk about things like that'. I was floored and had to explain to her why we most certainly did have to talk about it.





Just a note, my niece was not molested my brother but by a relative of her mothers--my brother and her were not married.
