Please could you provide the reference for this quote.

I'd really appreciate it.

My eldest sister went berserk with me , out of th eblue, for visiting an unle who was ill. She spat her words out, tht he had molested her when she was 8 years old. She told out mother, who felt helpfless and did nothing to defend her in th ebig, extended Muslim Pakistani family , where there was no police and men's word is law and duaghter in laws are expendable - the brothers will suppot each other, than a husband his wife.

The thin kis I was only 3 years old when this happened, yet decades on, she acted like I was responsible ... speaking with hate and loathing, directed at me. I need to use this quote as part of a letter to her...
