For Christ's sake, why would she wait for 40+ years to do anything about it?
This kind of nonsense is unbelievable, IMO.
I think it is real, I think it happened.... shoot, I know it's happened to me more than once, in my teen years with boys that had uncontrollable raging hormones.... but like her, managed to get myself out of the predicament!
But I was born a tough cookie and learned to simply move on, live and learn from it...
For her to hang on to it, for 30 to 40 years as she has, would lead me to believe it was an extremely terrifying experience for her, more so than what I ever went thru, that she compartmentalized and locked it in a special box in her brain, in order to deal with it...only for it to be opened 30 years later! Like children do with child abuse or sexual abuse from a parent or relative...
