I would like to briefly talk with you about this and I am sure I will be helpful.

That is an awful and confusing thing to go through at a young age when you don't understand what is happening. As a child body curiosity is normal, but it's not normal for an adult to do that to a 6 year old. As you gradually became aware of sexuality if you are like me, the confusion and shame will have increased. If like me, you told anyone you may have had to deal with adults making out that it was not a big deal and minimising what happened - that then further adds to the hurt.

I had a similar experience at a similar age and this is the first time I am saying outloud what happened. What happened to me was a family member got in bed with me naked - they didn't *do* anything to me, just got up really close to me. I froze initially and didn't do or say anything but I think I eventually asked why he was in my bed and not his own. I told my mum the next day who just said he was sleepwalking and took a wrong turn. It never happened again but I am now 40 and it still affects my relationships. It affects relationships with men in that I struggle to trust, but it also affects my relationship with family members and friends because deep down I feel that noone has my back and I am alone.

I don't know whether my story of what happened to me will be of any help to you but I needed to share to let you feel that you are not alone. I can offer no advice on what to do about the boy as I still haven't dealt with my own issues. I'm scared to as by dealing with it it will tear my family apart.

You are not alone. If you ever want to talk, please send me a message.

I am glad that you are dealing with this at an age where you can still have a full life. I'm now 40 and have to face the fact that my own family has damaged me to the point I will never have a family of my own.
