My uncle touched my private parts when I was in elementary school. It happened only once. I've told T about this and he says that I brush it off as if this incident is insignificant. He says my anxiety may be in part due to this incident. Here's the thing though, I don't think that what happened to me as a child is a big deal. Others have experienced much worse. The rest of my childhood was great. My parents and older brothers were loving, understanding, and nurturing. T says if it weren't a big deal, I would be able to tell others about the abuse(?... I'm not even sure I would call it that.) T is the only one in real life who knows, because I don't want to ruin the relationship my dad has with my uncle and the rest of his extended family.
