For myself, I have experienced sexual abuse/assault AND also being accused of doing something I never did. So I could empathize with both individuals. Your daughter has some "healing" to do, given what you have shared, it's understandable she would feel the way she does about this specific situation.
I love your response. It's helpful and insightful. Empathy and compassion are important, but over identification is, in my opinion, counter productive. Your comments have helped me Thank you.
