Trauma and its fallout still linger for woman
Dear Abby: When I was 13, my 10-year-old cousin let a boy we did not know well into my house. Nobody else was there with us. He told her he wanted to “make out” with me, and he came upstairs. I confronted him and told him to leave. Later on, I told my mother about the incident, thinking I would be commended on my bravery.

By cutting my hair against my will, my mother made me no longer trust her and think she didn’t love me or like me.
