On day at my grandmother’s home, my step cousin and I were going to take a shower together, as most cousins our age did…only he was about 12 and I was 4.
In the bathroom he told me to take off my clothes and after I had done so, he held me by my arms and he told me to turn around and face the wall. I asked him, “What are you doing?” He told me just to shut up and face the wall. As he did this, he started to insert his penis into me. Thankfully, by whatever grace of God, I had enough courage and strength to push myself away and get out of the bathroom.
My parents don’t know this. This haunts me almost every day of my life. I am now 28.
