Not a pregnancy question, but need opinons.

So my bestfriend told me her brother raped her twice when she went to visit him & her aunt. Once when she was 16 & once at 17. She's now 18. Both times I told her, call the police! She didn't want to. I still believed her cuz shes never lied & who lies about that? Well she said she wasn't talking to him ever again & I believed her cuz she was so serious about it. Well just recently she left home to live with her bf & didn't tell anyone so she got on fb, posted a status & her brother commentef on it saying he was worried & to call. She told him shed message him her number. So I was like huh?? Why would you ever talk to someone who raped you again?? Regardless of whether its family or not! Its wrong! I confronted her & she won't answer me so it makes me think she's lying. I'm starting to think the second time she told me was just for attention cuz she felt I was paying more attention to my bf then her. What do you ladies think? Would you thinm she's lying or did she just forgive him?

I was in the same situation but it wasn't my brother.  It was a classmate. Didn't talk to him for a while but we  eventually made up and were even friends for a couple years. Every situation is different and you'll never understand someone's story because it didn't happen to you. Everyone handles situations differently. I chose to forgive.

I would think she was lying. There is a thing called compulsive liars. People lie over pointless dumb stuff all the time. Why? Idk I ask myself the same question

Idk. Honestly I think she is lying or the encounters really happened but were consenual. Because if your brother truly raped you not once but twice I would forgive but never forget. I wouldnt talk to him or be around him.
