My sister doesn't believe E. Jean Carroll. [View all]

A few weeks back, I posted about a blowup I had with my sister and her husband about that man. I said that anyone who supports him is pro-rape. Needless to say, it didn't go over very well and I wound up fleeing their house in tears.

I just overheard a conversation my folks were having. Dad told Mom he just got off the phone with Sis. He mentioned that Sis had said it was awfully fishy that E. Jean couldn't remember the date, that there was no security footage, etc.

I have posted several times on this forum that I am a survivor of sexual assault - by a man who I had implicitly trusted and thought was my friend. I had known him (or thought I knew him) for nearly a decade. She knows that.

For years, I have wondered why I never felt comfortable confiding in my sister about my ordeal. Now I think I know why. 💔🔪
