We are a family and do try and help out each other.

As for the topic of this thread, yeah, get help. There are some things that can be taken care of with time, love, patience, and communication, but some things require professional help. Getting past the emotional trauma of a rape is one of the hardest parts, and a good counselor should be able to help with that. Most schools, employers, or even churches if you don't have an aversion to them will offer quality free counseling which could help her out in this situation. What she will need from you is what it sounds like your giving her, love and an attempt to understand and help. I hope this helps, and please let us know how you are doing. We do care about each other here.
