when i was little my mom and i would go out of state to visit a friend of hers. this friend had three teenage sons. the youngest one was named adam and he would take me upstairs and s******* abuse me. i was very young so i didnt know what was going on. all i knew was that it felt good. he always told me, ‘we never tell, do we?’ and i never did. as i got older we stopped visiting them and i havent seen the guy since i was probably 10 or 12. i never said anything because, at first, i didnt realize what was going on but then as i got older i realized what happened and still didnt say anything. im scared to tell my parents. i know that it will destroy them and my mother’s friendship with the guy’s family. i also dont want the impending court cases or the pity that everyone will give me. i dont want to be known as that poor girl who was s******* abused as a child. but at the same time i know that if i dont ever say anything he will get away with it. im scared what will happen if i ever meet him again. im scared that if he has kids he will do it to them. i dont know what to do. i’m so torn.
