When I was about 10 years old I remember I was dropped at my aunt and step uncles house by my parents. I remember playing just being a child and playing with my younger cousins. I will never forget the time they called me in the room and asked me to go fetch them some water from the fridge. Upon return I clearly recall my aunt telling me to look while she started touching my step uncle’s penis above his boxer shorts and I will never forget her looking into my eyes when she was speaking to me. Whenever I see my aunt and step uncle they always stair at me and treat me like I’m not. It’s like they have a grip on my life. I’m a 42 year old male and still suffer from time to time with trust issues and I isolate a lot and turn people away whenever they want to get close to me. I always feel alienated when around others. I don’t want to minimize what happen to me because I’ve read and watched many videos of rape cases th at are a lot more severe then mine. I have no idea why I deserved this but I was just a kid. The only conclusion I can think why this happen to me is them wanting her kids to be better then me when they grow up. It’s like they wanted that control over me. Thank you for your movie
