((((Trippin))) - so sorry this happened and sorry you had to hang onto to this in silence. You're brave for letting that toxic skeleton out of the closet and tell people. You did nothing wrong, so let him deal with the fallout. He was 18 and should have known better.

I was almost assaulted by my BIL when I was 13 and I was afraid to tell anyone - I was so confused, so I can't imagine how you/others must feel when you've been assaulted. Secrets like this are toxic. Good for you in going to work despite being dead tired - you're a survivor and a fighter for good reasons.
