Suddenly remembered sexual abuse from my cousin as a child.

Hey, man. I wanted to let you know that you’re not alone. I was molested as a kid several times and I didn’t really remember it until middle school. I know some people would hold on to it and it would be this enormous emotional burden but I didn’t have that experience. I just wanted to share my experience so you don’t feel so alone.

I agree that nothing except unnecessary drama would come from it if you revealed it to your family. I hope you’re in a better place and your cousin too because unless they’re like a sociopath or something I’d like to think they’d be ashamed to say the least if they remembered.

Anyway, I hope you feel at least slightly better. I wish you well in all your endeavors and God bless you.
