Are they raised for meat, eggs or feathers?

I used to work in Child Protective Services before I got too horrified and burned out. "Clarissa" captures the worst aspects of familial sexual abuse. People have this idea in their head that a family wouldn't tolerate something like that but it really IS way too common that when there's only one victim child, the family and siblings blame the CHILD for ruining the good thing they have going when they speak out, because things would be "easier" for everyone if they hadn't. Motherhood is held up as this fancy magical ideal in our culture but way too many times a mother will choose to live with her pedophile husband rather than face the prospect of homelessness. A lot of abusers do their best to keep their partners dependent on them for this very reason.

It's wrenching but people need to know it's real, so I guess, thank you for that.
