11 THINGS TO NEVER SAY TO SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN MOLESTED AS A CHILD

 

 

  1. My friend was molested too, and she is fine.
  2. It couldn’t have happened more than a couple times or you would have told someone.
  3. Maybe you think it happened while you were sleeping, but it was just a dream.  
  4. Maybe he didn’t mean it.  He’s had a tough life, you know.
  5. That doesn’t make sense, you always said such nice things about him.
  6. That happened a long time ago, get over it.  
  7. I don’t see why you just didn’t tell someone and get out.
  8. You stayed, so would you say you were taking advantage of the material things he gave you?
  9. I hope you aren’t going to start telling people, because I’m sure they’d rather remember him as a nice man.
  10. It couldn’t have effected you that badly, you look fine to me.
  11. You should have just said, “No.”
