Thank you for posting this informative thread. Someone very close to me was the victim of this kind of abuse. It was an older female abusing him as a child. It really went a long way to explaining his rage issues. He needs help. He only told me after 15 years of knowing each other. He broke down crying. I wish he'd told me sooner, because him being such an angry bastard would've made so much more sense. Not that I excuse his behaviour, it would've been better to understand where it came from though. As a woman I never legitimately thought of women as 'rapists' or abusers. At first I thought he was joking so I laughed it off. Women don't go around doing that stuff to kids and boys. That's what I thought anyway. Then he started crying, and I was like - 'Fuck. This did happen, and it's just as bad as if you had been raped/molested as a female.' Very hard realisation to come to. We're working through it though. If that bitch crosses my path in this life I'll carve her up like a Christmas ham. Only kidding! I'll hand her over to the proper authorities and do all the relevant paperwork to ensure nothing ever gets done. :/
