Yes, you did do the right thing. I know it must be very hard to understand not having experienced it yourself. I was sexually and physically abused. The physical abuse was wtih my father and my family just brushed it off...and it's so easy for me to convince myself that I'm making too big of a deal out of it. As for the sa...well, I've never done anything about it. I know I wasn't the only one...and I know it happened in his family (it was a family friend)...and it may still be going on. It's just soo hard for me. I told my sister b/c she was going to bring her son over there...but that's it. I'm constantly battling whether it did happen or I'm just crazy. I can understand her...but that doesn't make it right. I'm proud of you for doing what you did.
