I just had a hear-to heart with my little sister who is 5 years younger than me. I was in college through almost all of her teenage years, so she went through jr. high and high school basically alone (without me there). Because of the age difference, we've never been very close, but now that we are both adults, I'm trying to get to know her better. We were talking about life, and she just finished telling me the story about how she apparently was raped by the same guy twice in a 3 year time span, but it occurred over 5 years ago. She said she's getting over it because she talks to a therapist, and she is very strong in faith. But now I have the burden of knowing this horrible secret that she hasnt told either of our parents. I feel so guilty for not being there for her and for not looking out for her, even though I know logically that was not possible. I'm in a lot of pain right now and I'm worried. How should I handle this grief?
