Hello, Ken Here

[ken]

I'm in my late 30s and am working through things that happened to me when I was 12-13.

I was coerced and then forced into sexual acts with an older teen male.

The more I work on things the more things come out. And also the more questions I have about how much of who I am (particularly sexually) stems from this.

My main problems revolve around self-esteem/assertiveness issues and comfortableness with sexuality.

Thanks for all of the words of support.

I've been dealing with some parts of things for awhile, but newer bits have come in lately. And I also believe that I've gotten to a new place in things. I'm trying to feel out what I need to accept and act on to move on farther.

Thanks,

Ken
