I was raped by my neighbour (brother’s friend) in my own father’s house because he came over to watch movies with my elder bro and I. My elder brother had to rush to somewhere leaving just the both of us at home. Next thing I knew, he was touching me and then he forced himself on me, that idiot f**ked me through the back. I cried my eyes out that day. My parents came back and I told them everything that had happened, my brother beat the hell outta him but it didn’t change anything. The sad part was I was just 8yrs old. That shit changed my entire life. I’m 21 now by the way. The sad part of it was hearing the guy’s grandma say I threw myself at him, like for Christ sake, I was just 8, no breasts or anything. I’ve forgiven him, though.
