It happened when I was about 4 or 5 years old, my godmother’s children would always take me to stay with them at their house. One of the children, the third daughter, whenever I was left alone with her would insert her finger or any object she saw that could fit into my vagina. It kept happening until I was bold enough to stop visiting them. I didn’t tell anyone because I felt they wouldn’t believe me.
It happened again with my cousin who always visited us back then. Whenever he visited, as a big cousin, my siblings and I would always go to greet him and play with him in his room, he would carry me because I was the smallest, until everyone would have left the room then he’d start kissing and touching me, as little as I was, I didn’t also tell anyone as I felt they wouldn’t believe me and I also felt in a way it was my fault those things were happening to me, like I was inviting it and I was confused.
But how could I have, I didn’t even know what they were doing to me, all I know is that I always wanted to have sex since they started molesting me. I grew up with my sexuality messed up. As a teenager, I was addicted to masturbation and I found myself in lesbianism. It happened all through my secondary school days, after secondary school I gave my life to Christ and God gave me the grace to come out of masturbation and lesbianism and I got a grip on my sexuality.
