Hi, so when i were 7 years old I was sexually abused.. by a friend older than me, she was being SA by his dad i think and she did it to me.. i understand cause she didn't even knew that was bad but also i feel bad for myself and i still cry and feel bad.. I've been soo sad and i want to suicide cause some days ago i remembered that i also abused my brother.. but it wasn't my intention i thought it was normal because she did that to me and i never wanted to hurt him... now that i know its not normal i feel so bad and guilty but i were like 8 years old to know i was hurting him or that wasn't right.. i didn't even knew why i did it.. i feel so bad
