Lookback: 7 years

I didn't realize I was a victim until 7 years later

I was abused by a family friend at age 9, and I didn't understand it at the time

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had recognized the abuse earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Trust your instincts and don't be afraid to speak up"
