Still ashamed
Original story
Message to a Survivor
My message would be, you do what you need to survive and move on with your life. Each person is different and people need to understand your hurt can be different than theirs.
I don’t know when it all started. I was sexual abused by my older brother, I didn’t understand what was going on but he told me I should suck on his private. Once he had his friend there and he said it has different flavors and I will like the taste. He told me it’s a secret and I would get in trouble if anyone finds out. It had to start young, he’s 4 years older than me. While sitting on my grandma lap she stuck her finger in my anus and I must of had a look on my face. She said she was checking if I had to poop, nothing never happen after that, that I remember. I feel robbed because my virginity was taken away for the longest time. I’m 52 years old now and I always wonder why pick me, did I have a certain look? I never told anyone not even my therapist. I’m ashamed.
Just Checking...
