When I was 6 years old, I would always go over to my aunts. She would love to have me and other cousins over. This one time , I went to stay with her , but it was just me. My aunt has a pool, and I remember I wanted to get in to swim. Since I was little and didn’t know how to swim, my 19 year cousin got in with me. I remember crying as I almost drowned , so my cousin carried me and he started touching my private part. He told me he was tickiling me , and asked me if he wanted me to keep doing it , I said yes . I was 6, and I didn’t know this was wrong, all I know , was that it tickled. To this day, I haven’t told anyone. And I’m not sure how to even feel about it. I cant say that it was a super traumatic experience. I just feel weird about it. Should I talk about it with someone ?

Thank you so much for posting here. I would really encourage you to talk with someone about your experience. A therapist can help you work through what you’re feeling. I don’t think he/she will tell you how to feel because there is no right way to feel about what happened to you, but they can help you sort through your emotions and move forward. I’m really proud of you for sharing here and wish you love, light, and healing. Love, Alexis
