How incredibly sad...

i saw my 15 yr old niece for the first time in about 5 yrs (give or take). i watched her switch almost as rapidly as a child playing with the light switch.

same abuser, same life, same disorder...no help, no one to care, no escape.

i will try to make a difference. at that age, no one could have pried our mouths open to tell our secrets. heck, t still can't. t believes, with her history and my seeing what i saw that i am right. all i can do is listen, but how do i keep insiders safe when she talks of the same abuser? how do we keep safe???? it's hard enuf knowing he's 15 mins down the road.

i have no choice. i MUST be there for her. she's reaching out...

God help me with this one.
