Subject: Sexual Abuse

Question
Hello. I recently found out that someone very close to me was sexually abused at age 7 and I can't believe this but again at 12. It has scared her really bad like it does and she has serious anger and depression problems also put on by some of things in the past. She has only told one other person ever and can't bring her self to get counciling. I aren't good at comforting and I just have no idea how bad that would have been. I worried I might not be sensitive enough and I don't know if I should ask her about it or anything. She tells me that she gets so angry she wants to murder anyone who pisses her off which might be a little bit of a problem to. She is just 16. Her parents don't even know. What should I try and do and what can I do that will help. Thank you

Answer
Hello,
Expert Dan here. It was not her fault what happened. I recommend our rape area, depression area, and if you list your state I can post a hotline for advice. If she wants to talk to me, I'm here.

Please ask follow ups

James Windell Parenting Teen expert is good too

I do recommend a psychologist for she needs to talk about this, yet I understand the problems on getting someone to see one.
