At the age of 4-5, I was sexually assaulted by my first cousin. He was my father's nephew. My parents were fostering him at the time the abuse was happening. He came from a bad neighborhood of Milwaukee and my father wanted a better life for him. Almost like a second chance. So we invited him in our home. Little did we know that he was being sexually abused by another male and was mentally messed up from it. He thought that having intercourse and touching a family member was love. Being a little girl I never thought that I would EVER be touched by a close family member. He was like a big brother to me.
