I would imagine myself trying to ask her about it and see if I could sense where she was at, and to start more general and get to specifics as needed. Best of luck with this.NicciNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244374673567657208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029664085691327192.post-87085375547152625692008-11-11T22:18:00.000-08:002008-11-11T22:18:00.000-08:00Wow, that is a tough one.

Then approach her about any questions she may have about it and let her know that what happened there wasn't good or normal. She may not have understood about the sexual part of it, and may not need a full explanation. But she is old enough that she should know how to protect herself against predators. This could be a good chance to discuss it to a point.<BR/>We all have scars about "the talk". Sorry yours are so vivid and robbed you of part of your childhood dreams. You know your baby and your heart will tell you how far to go with this. Best of luck to you.Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09309152737407629716noreply@blogger.com
