My Sister's Reaction When I Finally Opened Up About What Happened

I was aged 20 when I told my sister Id been raped - 4 years after the assault took place. It was the first time I’d told anyone the full story.As Ive said many times a family of a survivor are the silent casualties and collateral damage when one has been violated. My sister's reaction is over 20 years old now but I remember it like yesterday. Im documenting this because it's the unspoken part many don't discuss about being a survivor. Having to see the reaction of people you love who are also affected by the sexual assault. This is all part of my rape survivor story - I hope you find it useful.
