I Lost My Virginity To Rape

I came on here to talk about my experiences growing up. I thought that this was as good a place as any and that maybe now was the time for me to talk. I’ve realised now though that it isn’t as easy as I thought it would be. I was abused growing up by a man who was close to my family and who I trusted as part of it. He’s not the same man who did those things to me now, we are close and I still see him all the time. It’s just that thinking about the past and the things that he did is still very difficult for me, and I don’t really know how to move past that. I hope that just by putting myself out there a little and trying to talk about it, things will get easier and I will be able to move past it so that it won’t affect me anymore. Fingers crossed 🙂
