IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT.
What happened to the other little girl was not your fault. The person responsible is the boy who did it. You didn’t do it to her. You didn’t seal her fate. You protected yourself the best way you knew how. It’s natural that you felt glad that you weren’t molested and raped in that situation. But it’s not your fault that someone else might have been molested. And actually, you don’t even know for sure that the other girl was molested, even though you suspect it.
If sounds as if you’ve been beating yourself up about this for a long time. But you were a child yourself when it happened. You took responsibility for your safety, and that’s OK. I hope you don’t think you should have been molested instead of her.
And you definitely didn’t deserve to be raped later. No one ever deserves to be raped, no matter what they’ve done. Rape is never karma; it’s always a crime.

Did you say you’re seeing your T tonight? I hope you’re able to get it out. I’ll be thinking of you.
