Re: Thank you to everyone who responded...

I agree with what you say about "sexual abuse" being used inappropriately and too broadly by the sex abuse industry, and how that term is often used to describe perfectly consensual activity that occurs between people over the Magic Age and those under the Magic Age. As for my friend, I do not know exactly what her father did to her...I do believe that it was not consensual, however. She didn't go into detail with me and I was not about to ask her for such details because I don't want to remind her of the abuse, and it's really none of my business anyway. I feel terrible that she was hurt, even though I think the pain ultimately made her a stronger person.
