Try to help her change your story. Notice how she was able to ditch the guy who rejected her because of the story of her past. That's empowerment. There's strength available in tragedy. She's already using it. She told you her story. The response sorts out who can accept her and who can't. Also, I hate to say it, do be careful of emotional manipulation. Your deep feelings of hurt and anger generated by someone you care about telling you this _could_ be used for bad things. Do everything you would normally do, but keep a straight head on your shoulders too. I'm not trying to plant a negative seed here: Just a little tiny observer that sits up in the corner of your mind. Don't let the little observer take over either but it's good that he's there. That caution said some humans do tragically awful things when nobody's looking. A whole secret world can be created in a small environment like a broken family where unfathomable things become commonplace. In some ways the fact that we can create our own normals is fantastic. But in cases like this, creating a "new normal" is tragic and destructive and can cause deep issues in survivors that takes a special care to understand and help. Most of all, my heart emoticon goes out to you and to her.
