Just read this thread and I feel for the OP & her D & H. It is very traumatic for everyone involved. I would seek counseling for myself and my H, to help us figure out how to best be supportive and move forward. It does sound like your D has been working through this in her way.

I really have no experience in this issue, but wish OP, her D & her H the very best. It is hard with hindsight, only hearing bits & pieces to get a good understanding of exactly what happened and how much your D has healed from this traumatic experience. I would proceed carefully, with guidance from a trusted therapist.

OP, given your cousin’s attempted suicide, it really sounds like counseling for you will help you make better choices in helping your D with HER situation, less encumbered by the memories of your poor cousin’s trauma.
