i was visiting my relatives last year. and i’d woken up late at, while my parents went out for a walk. we were staying in my cousins room, and he’d come in to get something from his room. i’d just woken up, and i was alone with him. he started touching me, nothing much but mainly my chest. it made me really uncomfortable, but i was too scared to tell him off. when my parents came back, they saw me with him alone, but he wasn’t doing anything. he left the room, and my parents asked me “did he touch you?” and i said “no”. i was scared to say yes bc i didn’t know what would happen to him and i thought that since he didn’t do anything past touching me, it wasn’t a big deal. i still loved him bc he was my cousin, so i didn’t want anything to happen at that time.

previously when my family discussed visiting my relatives, i’d be super excited. but now i’m really f****** terrified. i don’t know if it’s going to be different when i go the next time, but i haven’t been able to tell anyone about this and it scares the s*** out of me.
