The [sexual violence] in my life was in my childhood, and was discovered via therapy. My parents
were informed by the therapist, and reacted by changing the school that I went
to, and cutting off the violent friendship. I didn't find out why those changes
had occurred until years later, when it was explained to me exactly what had
transpired. I also have a friend who experienced [sexual violence] this year, and I, as well
as our mutual friends reacted with shock, and support. As much as you know it
happens here, or has happened to you, it's always surprising when it happens to
someone you care about.
