This reminded me of my experience with sexual abuse when I was younger. My abuser was the only person I really talked to. The isolation was terrifying. He would often be the one to 'comfort' me as well when I was sad about what was happening. It's really twisted.

It's not only the act itself that is harmful, but the context it which it takes place.

I am in awe of your strength and determination to share your story. Let it out. It needs to be heard.
