I hate how age gaps were normal to me when I was younger. I thought it was okay to be groomed and to like people 10-20 years older than me. Now that I look back, I cringe and see how desperate I was for attention and love, I constantly oversexualized myself, and liked how people would react. I’ve been s******* assaulted several times but have never said anything. I haven’t told anyone. I’ve been s******* assaulted by my father figure (who isn’t in my life anymore) and I was s******* assaulted by my childhood friend. I thought it was okay for a while until I grew older and older. I realize that it was never okay. I feel so guilty and so ashamed. I wish someone taught me it wasn’t okay. Everyone around me, especially online told me it was okay. It wasn’t though.
