What do i say to a friend who has been raped?

You guys already know my problems with a friend mine already. Here is one of the threads i started about her http://www.lpsg.org/85655-i-think-i-m-turning.html.

We both decided that we would take a break from each other, but before we did that, she told me she was raped by a cousin back in high school. She said she doesn't talk to anyone about it. Not to her parents (they don't know), not even to her shakey boyfriend (he knows).

I told her that she could talk to me anytime about it. I told her that it would help if she got counseling. I told i even had counseling when the relationship between me and my parents turned nasty and violent. She says it bothers her somtimes.

What should I do? Should I make her talk about it? Should I honor break I wanted?
