    He was the nephew of my father’s girlfriend at the time & was older & stronger than me. It started when I was 7 & I thought he’d hurt me more & that nobody would believe me. It took 4 years to break the silence. He was abusing other kids too, I later found out. #WhyIDidntReport

        I am so sorry this happened to you. I too was a victim of childhood sexual abuse by my stepfather at age 5 and 6. My mother caught him but stayed with him, sending me to live with my grandmother. I have forgiven her but it never stops hurting.

        Wow. I am sorry for that six year boy who everyone failed. I am sorry for the grown man and how the trauma is still impacting you. Also so impressed that you shared your story. Godspeed.

        I was a 12 y/o virgin, he was 18. My single mom was raising 2 girls and I didn't want to burden her with the stress of it. 2nd time I was 16 and was date raped. This was before the term was coined. Then domestic violence. Consequently, as a 50 y/o am emotionally unavailable.
