Also, if you had said no, do you really believe that they would have just stopped and left you alone?

And if they had persisted after you said no, even if you did not continue to fight, then they would still be wrong.

But still, if they were older than you and especially if they had any sort of authority over you at all, then they were still the one who was wrong. They knew better, you may have understood it was wrong, but as young children, we are likely to go along with the things that older people instruct us to do simply because they are older and often have authority.

You were young and vulnerable and had a need for love. You were taken advantage of. YOU were not WRONG.
