My cousin that I once was really close with, whenever I discuss what happened to me with her, she always says "it could've been worse" and that I wasn't severely beaten or left for dead. She doesn't even know what truly happened that night and makes me feel like what happened isn't bad enough. How do you even respond to people like that & has anyone else have that said to them or something similar?
