Lookback: years

kept secret for years

I was abused by my stepdad when I was 13. I didn't stop it and even liked the attention, which I'm still ashamed about

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had stopped it and told someone"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest with yourself and others about what happened"
