I should be able to forgive him now, but it’s hard to do so because I get angry whenever I remember it.
This was how it happened:
When I was like 5 or 6 years old, my mom was working as a caregiver or let’s say nanny in one rich man’s house and she usually took me along.
We didn’t have much; dad was struggling too. Things were so tight. Mom would go to the house and clean, cook, and also stay with the children. She also sold provisions at home just to help our father.
My mom’s boss had a younger brother living with them, and he would tell me to come to his room while my mom worked around the house.
He started by rubbing my penis, and if I tried to cry or scream, he would tell me he was helping me to massage it so that it won’t pain me later. Later, he told me to rub his dick too and I did. I didn’t even understand what he was doing to me.
Then, he started rubbing his dick on my anus and he’d threaten me not to talk saying if I do, my penis would disappear. But I was uncomfortable with it, and so I started acting weird whenever mom was about going to the house.
This went on and on for months. But one day, he had his way by inserting his big penis into my anus and I cried out.
Mom ran upstairs and met him on me. I was bleeding profusely and Mom carried me out and also slapped him repeatedly.
I was admitted for days. The pain was too much for me. That was the last time I visited that house. Mom reported him and she also stopped working there.
I remember the man and his wife came to beg my mom and also decided to pay my school fees, but dad sent them away. Dad later informed the police but they had money; the case was closed before it even started.
Till now, I feel like seeing him so I can strangle his neck. I just hope I can forgive him. I really hope so.
