Update: I've been texting and having some short phone calls with Cappa. She is responsive but not the kind of person who gives much. She is genuinely excited about moving in for a while. I got to ask her some basic questions to find out about her. I find that I am looking forward to her coming as well. I'm taking things slow with no mention of the abuse. I am giving her encouraging words and being directly loving; ie "you are very important to me and I love you for you".
I did purchase -It Happened to Me: A Teen's Guide to Overcoming Sexual Abuse Workbook. I read several reviews from different sites and decided this one is the one. Pending therapy goes well (happens), and PTSD comes into the picture then I will happily purchase that workbook for her.
Teens are an interesting breed that's for sure.
