i have only told this to one therapist and one online forum and both times it was downplayed as just "child's play" But now i want everyone to know that it was NOT 'just child's play' when i was 5 i was abused by a few of the kids in my daycare. I am now 25 but it still haunts me. I am mostly ashamed and embarrassed because my whole life i thought it was my fault and i was told that it was just something kids do. but its not.

I want to get my story out there so others that have suffered in silence like me can realize what they experienced was real and no one can downplay their pain. I just wish more doctors and therapists would recognize it as abuse and, instead of laughing or saying its nothing, help people through it.

i have since changed therapists and have been seeing this new one for over a year. I have decided to tell him what happened, when i see him next. I really hope he takes it to heart because i need help with this. its tearing me appeart. I'm really scared of what might happen, but i finally want to do it.
Thanks for this!
