[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 186429, member: 1550"] Cindy, I worked for a Domestic Abuse Center that had some Psychologists who worked with assault victims. Whether or not she put herself in the position of being raped, she WAS raped and in my opinion it would be smart to get her therapy specific to that. It has probably traumatized her more than you think. It is rare for the incident to come to a quick closure, especially if he wasn't arrested and is still walking around, able to do it again. I was told point-blank that kids who are raped have a much higher incidence of substance abuse (and if they were abusing before it can kick it up after) and hideous self-esteem and they do tend to think they deserved it. I hope sincerely that you didn't say "If it wasn't for your choices this wouldn't have happened." Even if it's true, it is a devestating for her to hear, something more for her to think "I deserved it, I'm not worthwhile" about. I hope you find a sexual assault counselor to help her with at least that one issue. Nothing good comes of not getting treatment after you are assaulted. "No" means "no" even if both of you are wasted. The boy violated her in every way. [/QUOTE]
