So my apologies for the 14 month delay.
I'm 58 and have found numerous instances where I was sexually abused as a child and as a teenager. You were likely groomed and most certainly abused.
I was abused by both sexes and have never truly experienced sexual intimacy as a result.
One of the most painful realizations of my entire life and I feel like it's way too late to do anything about it.
