[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all of the kind words. My daughter's doctor appt is in the morning. I'm nervous now and will need to see if MD is a mandatory reporting state because, until DD is ready to come forward with more information, I don't want this to be an issue of force. I will speak with DD in the morning and let her know that it's a possibility that her doctor's appt will involve the police and go from there.

For those asking if I believe DD: Absolutely, 100%. I will always believe my children when it comes to issues like this. If it turns out not to be true, that's her burden to carry. But I will always believe and support my children when it comes to any sort of sexual abuse claim. [/quote]

I'm so sorry that someone did such a terrible thing to your daughter, and it's great that you are being so supportive.  It sounds from the other thread like you and your daughter had a really tough year before she disclosed the rape.  It sounds like you were quite negative and frustrated about her poor academic performance.  I think in this coming year it will be really important for the two of you to restore your relationship-maybe through family counseling.  She needs to know that you love her unconditionally-no matter what has happened to her, and even if she is not successful academically.  I hope that now that she has come forward she will be able to heal and find success in other parts of her life, including school, but she needs to know that your love isn't dependent on her achievement.[/quote]

OP here. You are spot on and this is definitely my next step.[/quote]
