3.  I answered because she asked.  It's as simple as that.  I hesitated to answer.  I told her it was worse than anything she had ever experienced and asked if she really wanted to know.  She said yes and asked if I was raped.  I said yes.  She said she was sorry and that she didn't want to know more.  I said OK and hugged her and that was it. 



Another reason I hate make-up is the way that mascara looks under eyes at the end of a long day.
