[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - glad you went to the school.  You needed to, your daughter needed you to.

Had a similar experience with my DD in middle school.  She told me about it at the time but minimized it so I didn't know the full extent of what she went through for two more years.   I took it to the school at the time (what I knew) she provided a statement.  There was a poor attempt at restorative justice.  The school wouldn't tell us anything beyond that in how it was handled.

Since then, she's struggled with self-harm, had multiple suicide attempts, and suffered from anorexia.  This was with lots of therapeutic help provided along the way - we didn't wait for these things to crop up.  The pandemic was layered into all of this too - and that social isolation made things very hard.  She's on the other side now, but it has taken more strength than I thought was ever possible in us both to walk her through these last four years.

Sexual assault hits deep, so deep.  It's incredibly unfair.  And many times what you would think are avenues of help to the person who experienced the assault (like reporting it) just drive the shame & suffering deeper.

I will be sending out hope that your DD opens up to some help to process all of this, and that you all can find the healing she needs.[/quote]

Sorry for your daughter’s experience.  That sucks.   [/quote]
