Our young nanny sexually abused me when I was about six years old

“It didn’t click to me until my university days when I had my first make out session with a guy. As the boy ran his hands over my body, I remember thinking to myself that this feeling is a little familiar but I could not place it until one day, it all came back.

When I was about six years old, we had a young female nanny who was about twenty (I think). I liked her because she was pretty and had nice things. She also liked using make-up and we would play with her make-up for hours. She would let me dress up in her clothes or wear her shoes. My brother and I loved her."

I remember that one day while she was giving me a bath, she pulled down her top and asked me to suck her breasts. It happened at other times after that but I don’t remember how long this went on, how or why it stopped.

My mind must have blanked it out but it all came back to me the day I made out for the first time with my first boyfriend and I thought …wooh! For a time, I wondered if it was all in my head but now, I’m sure it did happen. I was a kid, a girl, and someone I liked so much did that to me. I was tempted to ask my brother if he’d had any experience with our nanny of that time but changed my mind. It would be a very awkward conversation, and if nothing had happened to him, I’d feel weird.”
