I'm 25 years old. My sexual abuse started at the age of 4 and continued til the age of 11. My abuser is someone I would've thought I could look up to as I got older, my big sister, but that wasn't the case at all, actually the opposite. She is 5 years older than me. It all started with her telling me we are "playing games" or "exercising" or something like that. Making it seem like it was ok or normal. At the age of 4 I didn't have the knowledge to know or understand what was happening to me. I always thought families love each other and would never want to hurt their family in any way.
