My sister aged 20 years has been molested and groped by house owner 18 days back. Since then she is having nightmare every night with some horrific scene which depicts that something more dangerous going to happen with her. She is frightened and not able to concentrate on her studies and personal life. She is completely shattered and lost her control. This moment she becomes normal and the next moment she starts crying or becomes angry. She also feel some kind of pain in the head and the body temperature gets increase suddenly. We are completely confused about her recent behavior. Can you please suggest some ways to overcome this nightmare situation?

Hello dear, what your sister went through is no way your sister's fault .But definitely you need to seek help and share it with your parents or any trust worthy help available as the things can be repeated. The offender needs to be punished (if not possible then) avoided.Your sister will take some time to overcome it and her emotional and physical reactions are normal and in response to what she went through. Give her warmth ,a shoulder to bank upon, learning something for self defence, quietly,can also lend a feeling of empowerment.
