My friend just recently told me that when she was 7 her uncle sexually abused her like made her touch him and he would touch her, when she was in the bathroom he would try to come in and stuff like that, but he didn't have sex with her though. Nothing was ever really done about it she told her aunt (his wife) about it a little after it had happened and her aunt told her not to tell anyone about it because he will go to jail! That happened awhile ago and he is dead now but she is having problems.. What is your imput on this what do you think?

She needs to have some counseling. That is the only thing that got me through the same situation, and it's the only thing that is still getting me through, because I still see my adoptive father out in public sometimes because the punishment for sex offenders in my state isn't very bad. It is really hard sometimes to get over this type of abuse, and it can sometimes haunt the person for the rest of their life. She needs a steady support system and some professional help from certified therapists or counselors to help get her through this. It may also help her if she doesn't have to be exposed to the aunt that helped cover up the abuse, because the aunt was an enabler. Is the rest of the family being supportive, or are they like the aunt? She is really going to need to know that you and the rest of her family are really there for her and will be there to help her when she is feeling low. Good luck to you and her both, because it can sometimes be extremely hard to pull yourself out of this type of thing.

Most sexually abused victims need to talk about their experience. She should probably see a counselor. There is often feelings of self blame and guilt involved. Many victims feel that the only way to make progress is to work through what happened to them. Counseling can help her deal with the experience and also deal with issues that are possible related factors.
