I have my own painful childhood issues.... and it took a LONG time for me to open up about it (even now, there are only a small handful of people that know). Point is this: As badly as you want to help her, you simply can't even she isn't ready. This is her issue, and wanting to share it with her is extremely kind, but it's her decision that you need to respect and try not to take it personally.

If you see that her life is suffering in anyway because she won't open up, perhaps she would consider talking to a therapist in private... someone who doesn't know her.... that will be confidential..... and she can start to gain strength that way?

I'm sorry that she is going through this.... whatever happened has left her feeling embarrassed/angry/scared/ashamed...... or something... so she needs to first take the blame off of herself whatever the case was.

I wish you both well...... good luck.
