I just found out that my youngest cousin was raped by her live-in boyfriend, as was I. There is incest that runs in our family as well, her from her brother and his friends and I from our grandfather. I was also raped by my live-in boyfriend, repeatedly. At least she was able to get away from hers right away and it never happened to her again. I see these family resemblences and I am angry and sorry for her. She does not speak to me, for various reasons. She wrote an article about her experiences and my sister shared it on Facebook, or I would not have known. I am sorry for her pain, but I cannot express my sorrow, because if I do, she would probably block me on Facebook, which I would not prefer. I'd rather be able to read other things she writes at least. I just wanted to share this here, because this is the only safe place I have to share it. I am sad too, of course, for all the divisions in our family, of which there are many. Even that is generational....
