[quote=Anonymous]How old is your daughter? Does she still live in your house or is she on her own?

My daughter was raped when she was young. I contacted police; there was a special unit at Children’s that dealt with minors. Children’s was amazing but DC police were beyond terrible. Not only was the case never solved; they really traumatized her for a second time.

My best advice is to get your daughter into counseling immediately. You don’t have to say you know about the attack. She is self-mutilating and withdrawing. She needs help.

As far as your husband, I don’t know if you realize you are focusing on the wrong things here. Maybe it is a defense mechanism because of the enormity of this all. My ex felt he hadn’t protected her. He was also mad at me. Honestly, I don’t even remember why - it didn’t matter. He dealt with it. H being angry but I couldn’t let down my daughter. She needed a champion like you need air - someone to believe her, someone to hold her hand, someone to hold back her hair when the post-rape drugs made her throw up, someone to buy a punching bag so she could hit it and someone to tell the cop to go to hell when he insinuated maybe she had done something wrong. Be your daughter’s champion. Deal with your husband and your own feelings later. Right now, step up and be your daughter’s champion. [/quote]
