Child Abuse Story From Leanne

by Leanne
(United Kingdom)

One of my earliest memories as a child is when I was about 4/5. I went to my nan and granddad's every weekend. I distinctively remember sitting on my granddad's lap whilst he did "ring o' roses". The next thing I remember is his hands between my legs, tickling/stroking me. I knew this was wrong, but I didn't know how wrong.

Growing up, I've been a very angry person, getting irritable quickly, and avoided relationships when it got to the intimacy; and I strongly feel this is related to the incident when I was younger.

I've been recently considering maybe seeing a professional about it, but I'm scared that maybe there are memories that I blocked out; and that if I talk about it, they might be unlocked.

I really don't know how to handle the situation anymore.
