For Those Who Still Feel They Are to Blame:

My mom said it was her fault because she left us home without adult supervision. Libby said it was her fault, maybe because she should have sensed something like I did. I am still coping with my guilt. I must remind myself every day that it wasn’t my fault. Those who have been in this situation must know the same about themselves.
I’ve been seeing a therapist, and no, I am not ashamed. The first thing she told me was that it was not in my hands. I am not responsible for what Justin had done to me. I’m still working on that though…
