[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, take comfort in the fact that she told you.  This is a huge step.  I was sexually assaulted when I was 14 and told no one until my late 20s when I finally sought therapy to help me stop allowing that one event in my past to define me.  Get her in therapy ASAP. If she doesn't like her therapist, find another one.  Therapy is crucial.  Ask her what she needs, support her the best you can.  Good luck, I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to hear this from your daughter.  [/quote]

OP here. Thank you for sharing. I'm very grateful that she did tell me what's going on. I don't know why I assumed this is something that is naturally told to parents and was even saddened that she didn't think she could come to me sooner (she said she wasn't sure if I'd believe her). I'm definitely going to pursue therapy in the morning.

Thanks again for your post. I hope you're doing great now. [/quote]

Thanks OP, by all accounts, I am in fact doing great now:) And your daughter will get through this too because she has you to support her and you're getting the professional help she needs sooner rather than later.

Hugs to you and your daughter, OP.
