By “extended family” we mean an aunt, uncle, inlaw, step-parent, cousin, friend of the family, teacher, coach, another child, clergy or anyone that that betrayed the child’s trust.
We believe we were affected by the abuse whether it occurred once or many times, since the damage is incurred immediately.
