[quote=Anonymous]When my high school daughter was raped by a very popular boy from a very powerful family.
And the following six months when she completely crashed from the trauma. Wanting to support her decision about reporting the incident to the police (she was adamant about not doing so) and not being able to get her therapy or help as anyone she told would be a mandated reporter. 
She refused to go to school and her classmates then destroyed her on social media with rumors she was pregnant, that she was committed to a psych ward, etc.
We finally got a therapist to agree to talk to her without reporting (through the friend of a friend) and she had one visit with her and reported it as soon as she walked out the door . My daughter got so much worse as she lost trust in everyone around her, including us.  The cops pressured us to give them info and threatened us with charges if we didn’t.

We picked up our family and moved out of state.

All of this seems so crazy but this is a very, very powerful family.

The next 6 years, while my daughter has battled with PTSD. She went through cycles of not leaving her room with cycles of going out and partying like crazy. She got pregnant. Had an abortion.

It has eaten our family alive.

Recovery is slow. We try every day to support her in every way we can think of. She started going to a therapist after we moved here. We lied and told that therapist that all of this was reported in the state we left.

She is now slowly getting better. She’s in college part time. Good grades. Has a part time job she likes. Has friends. Is happy most of the time.

I thought some days the stress of this and the worry about her would quite literally kill me.[/quote]
