Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'm not going to tell anyone, that is that. It's not worth it. He wouldn't remember it anyway.

It DOES matter. And if no one believes you then you are telling the wrong people and you need to keep trying. I guess I'm just worried about you. It's almost as if I am looking at myself. Because of my experience I am very afraid of strange older men. Keeping quiet about this is sort of like saying to him, "This is ok." And it is NOT ok. I'm glad no one else in your family has suffered from this but you still did. Why do you insist on not telling anyone? There are people who will understand. You know, a friend of mine one time told me that, "This planet is obviously used as an insane asylum for other planets." Sounds about right.

I know, for a fact, that he didn't do this to anyone else but me. I've even asked my sister. I do not have anyother girl relatives. He doesn't go out at all, even when I was little. He's been in the hospital most of his life anyway. It's hard to explain. I'm not telling anyone, they never believe a word I say so it doesn't matter. It's over with. He's going to die next year anyway.

Just curious, and I know it's a tender topic, but are there any guys out there who've been raped?

Also, I was wondering, what constitutes "rape"? I mean, for example, say a girl and a guy have sex and then a little later, the girl decides she didn't want to, but she DID want to when it happened... Is that rape? Or does the person being raped have to be against the act the whole time?

Sunset, you really should. Trust me. It is painful, I won't lie but the ******* who did whatever to you should be punished. What if he does the same thing to another little girl? If my older sister had spoken up when it happened to her it wouldn't have happened to me, my other sister, or my cousin. I know it's hard but if you talk to someone about it you can begin to move past it and heal yourself. Please think about it.

Being sexually molested at any age is a terrible experience. I don't understand how someone could do that to another person, but it happens everyday. I sympathize with you all who've had that happen to you.

I was. I think I was about 5 years old. By my grandfather of all people. YUCK! It was a big secret in my life for about 10 years. Then it all came out. Turns out, he didn't just take advantage of me but also both my sisters, a cousin, and a family friend. And I know I'm not alone.
