Hi.
Well, this is going to be somewhat traumatic for me because I have hardly ever spoken about it. Yes, there is a very impactful and bad moment that I faced as a kid. I don't even remember my age back then but I was I guess some 9-10 years old.
This is a trigger warning. I don't want to trigger any negative emotions here.
I am sharing it because it is past and I have gotten over it a long time back. It did, however, affect me in so many ways. I am talking about child abuse and being molested as
a kid.
It was in my class that our teacher was telling us about Good touch and bad touch and how we can distinguish between them that I realized that a guy from my colony had been touching me inappropriately.
I could not realize it when the incident happened. I was very hesitant to talk about it. K I was unaware of all those emotions as a kid. When the guy came to me the next time, I broke into tears and cried for help. My cries were so Loud that the guy freaked out and people gathered from nearby the colony and soon my father was there too.
This episode of my childhood was so traumatic that I cannot put into words. Thankfully, I got over it in time. I am grateful for having a caring family that took care of me as should have been done. The guy, I don't feel comfortable naming him, was put behind the bars for I don't know how many days.
Yes, it was really impactful because it had created a sense of social anxiety in me. I still have trouble communicating my thoughts to some extent.
There are such monsters roaming around the world which is why it is very important and sensitive to keep our children aware and safe for their future, physical and mental health.
Thanks for reading. I hope I did not make you uncomfortable. It is never the intention. The pictures and the content are mine.
