I'm sorry that happened to you but I'm thrilled that my own experience has helped you see your past more clearly. As I mentioned, I didn't, no couldn't, see this as abuse until I was an adult and had my own kids.

When you're a child, the difference of just a few years is huge. Six years older is worlds apart and it gives them power over us. That the perpetrator was also immature doesn't excuse the act (though it does place a little of the blame on the adults around at the time).

If you ever want to talk through those events and issues, please contact me. Hearing about what happened to you will help me. Maybe we can help each other.
