Answer 1

Your sister has been through a very traumatic event and it will take time and support for her to come through the other side.

It sounds like you are suffering too, grief. You have lost the relationship you once had with her and you are angry and confused. These are normal responses.

You will both need counselling to get to terms with what has happened.

You might benefit from looking up rape support groups and depression groups.

Good luck to you both, my thoughts are with you.
