Hi Socially Awkward. Welcome to After Silence. I'm so sorry for what has happened to you. I know you are going through struggles internally, and I saw that you mentioned you were "ashamed" or yourself at that age. You were taken advantage of. Everyone here has had different experiences, different people, different types of assault...but we all dealt with it. So did/are you. You were a child when this happened, this was not your fault and you shouldn't blame yourself. I know you said you "enjoyed it" but honestly you couldn't have know what it meant. When I was 8 years old, I thought women got pregnant from sitting on a toilet seat that a boy peed on, So at school when I would use the restroom I was afraid I was pregnant. That was my view on things, and even then you were younger than that. There was absolutely no way you would have know what was happening was wrong. Adults (people older than you) can make horrible things seem the way they want it to (fun, happy, exciting). Younger children aren't experienced enough to know truth from lie, right from wrong, and tricks from reality. I'm so glad that you decided to become a member of AS. We are all here supporting you. And nothing that happened to you should make you feel like a "wuss". We don't categorize what happened to us by the severity or the situation. We only focus on ourselves now and our recovery. You can message me if you ever want to talk. Terra
