Splitimage,
Did you find it validating to know that she was also victimized?
I know for me, when I was contacted by other victims, it was extremely validating and helps me believe that it wasn't something that *I* did to cause it to happen. Although of course I am sad that anyone else had to go through what I did.
You were so brave to meet her, and I'm glad it was a positive experience for you. It sounds like she might be able to be a good friend and support in your life.
And that is a really good thing!
