My story starts in the 4th grade. I was raised by a single dad in the 90’s. I use to go to my friends house and although, it’s still a puzzle with missing pieces..her dad sexual abused both me and my friend. I’m not sure how long it went on for or if my dad knew something happened. Towards the end of 4th grade, my dad pulled me from that school and I never saw my friend again. I did reconnect with her back in 2011 and we talked about that time together. Nothing ever happened to her dad. He was suspected of child sexual abuse but there wasn’t any hard evidence. I’ve never told my family about what happened to me so long ago.
