20. More times than I care to remember,

Oct 2016

beginning with an older cousin when I was very young grabbing and rubbing while "wrestling", a stranger grabbed my butt at a baseball game, a neighbor boy swam under water to grab my crotch when I was 13, and on and on throughout my teens by "friends" of my brothers.
The saddest part is that I never told my Mom about the assaults as I was under the impression that it was somehow my fault.
If nothing else positive comes from Trump's campaign, at least his atrocious behavior and statements have given all of us an opportunity to have an open dialogue with our sons, daughters, etc.
