Hi <3

Let me get one thing straight first: I love my grandpa,the one I live with.

But every time I'm around him,I remember how he touched my breasts without asking for my consent when I was 19. I feel I can't talk to anyone about this.I KNOW he won't abuse me again because I don't have breasts anymore (I had top surgery) and I look like a boy and have facial hair and he isn't into guys.But I feel uncomfortable.What do I do?

I just feel my life is bad.I have been sexually assaulted by 3 different people in my life,including him...
Also,I'm into older guys,and mum says that since I'm still a child in my mind,that older people will use or abuse me,like it happened before.How does one protect himself from being abused?

Hi IAmScared,

We've shared everything we can with you on the topic of abuse - and we've set limits around discussing this more. The best thing right now would be to look for support from someone who can work through this with you - like a therapist.
