For many of us though, the real danger was at home.
I didn’t remember the sexual abuse for many years, well into my 20s. I grew up with this weird memory of my uncle cleaning my bum after I just had a bath. It is much later that I realised this really happened to me and he wasn’t cleaning my bum. When I told my mother, she said she was going to take action but then, she decided not to. It was best to leave it all in the past.

They don’t get it and you get hurt a second time. I’m glad you survived. I’m glad you moved on.
