Oh God. I just found out somebody I know was raped a few weeks ago. She was in shock and hid it all this time, finally breaking down today in front of an acquaintance of hers who had her go to a Dr. The Dr. has known her for years and cried with her when he found out, then called her husband and helped her tell him. He reacted the way you hope a husband reacts, thank goodness. Now they are left to deal with the devastation of this. How do you recover from that? My whole heart just hurts so badly for her, and them. Everybody who knew her knew something wasn’t quite right because she just hadn’t been herself for weeks (she is usually a really energetic, go-get-um type), but nobody imagined that this was the problem. I mean, how could you imagine this. I can’t imagine. There are no words.
