Hi @rainbowpotato,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. Holidays can be a really challenging time with lots of down time and less structure. It sounds like the school holidays have been challenging for you so far 
What do you find the most challenging part of the school holidays?
We had a recent live chat about getting through the holidays that you might find really helpful here 
You mentioned feeling like your family doesn't understand what you are going through and that you are wanting to preserve the friendship between the two families, is that right? Just to clarify, have you spoken to your family or anyone else about the sexual assault before?
It takes so much courage and strength to share your story and I want to thank you for trusting us Your safety is our number one priority and we are here for you if you need to talk Over the holidays, 1800RESPECT are also available, and they are helpline that support survivors of sexual assault if you want to speak to someone immediately

Have you spoken to anyone/spoken to a professional about what happened to you?
