...See more When I was 8 or 9 I stayed with my dad at his moms house and she has a boyfriend that stays with her I grew up calling him my grandpa. I loved him so much anytime he would watch a movie on TV I'd have my head on his lap or on the side of his lap I don't know what made him do what he did but he would always put a cover over the lower half of my body. I thought this was a normal thing grandparents did but every time he put a cover over me he would have his hand in my pants. This went on for about a year but I didn't think anything of it he was an adult I trusted. A year later I was in my first year of middle school and I had a class called sex ed. During that class I learned about molestation and rape and how it wasn't good. After that I'd have flash backs of what happened with my grandpa. I finally realized what he did and I hated myself for so long and I resented guys I wouldn't let them come near me. I would isolate myself from everyone for years, to my family it was just me going through my emo phase. After I graduated high school I finally told my dad it took me 9-10 years to tell him everything. He wasn't happy with my grandpa. I told him to not say anything, and he agreed. Ever since then dad doesn't talk about it and I've been getting worse lately and I can't get help because my dad hasn't came to terms with what happened to me. I always thought. It's my own fault that happened to me I let it happen I didn't know what was happening and didn't say anything sooner.
