It doesn't matter. The fact is that the "current" personal situation, whatever it is, is always changing.
For example, you have mentioned something about how your rape experience has affected your daughters. Let's say that today, it has affected them in X way. Well, in 20 years time, it could affect them:
(1) still in X way
(2) in Y way
(3) in Z way
(4) not at all
You have also mentioned that how your rape experience has affected your daughters has affected you. Let's say that today, you have been affected in P way.
Well, in 20 years time, it could affect you:
(1) still in P way
(2) in Q way
(3) in R way
(4) not at all
Again, applying the same reasoning, the 20-year situation might well materialise in 15 years, or 10 years, or 5 years, or in 1 year.
Or in six months, or three months, or next month, or next week.
Then the simple question I ask you is - would you like a more positive sort of outcome; or a more negative sort of outcome.
Next, I ask you - would you like that outcome to happen sooner, or later?
After that, I ask you - what can you possibly do, to help make that outcome happen sooner (or later). I would suggest to you that the answer has something to do with changing or adjusting your own thoughts.
