#me too
I've never told any living soul about this. I guess a part of me is embarrassed. First time I was acted upon innapropriately by a man was when I was 12. my grandparents weird ass neighbor, who was a family friend. I'm an only child and my grandparents pretty much raised me so I guess I was an easy target. First instance I remember is of him taking me swimming. this is a 40+ year old man. I blocked a lot of it out but I remember him touching my vaginal area as he helped me out of the pool. the shame and discomfort. my parents spent quite a bit of time with this man and his wife, which meant I did too. walking home from school to my grandparents house one day while My grandpa was out of state he stopped me and began telling me the sickest, most vile things....like how my grandpa hired hookers at night and described sexual things a child should never have to hear. he and his wife would come to our house for dinner and he would corner me while I practiced piano and just leer at me with this horrible smirk on his face or say he wanted to watch me (or listen to me play) and then find any excuse to just come to wherever I was. I think he genuinely thought he was being funny, but, you know, it really fucked me up. as an adult I wish i could forget but I know I never will. The only thing I can do is make sure my young nieces and nephews don't have to ever go through anything like that..
