#WhyIDidntReport it then? I was 9, I was groomed. I just wanted to forget it ever happened, but you never forget a single detail. You just learn how to push the trauma down and ignore it, even when you see the person who did it 16 years later. Honestly, who would believe me.

#WhyIDidntReport ? Because I& #39;m scared to face the person, to relive that trauma, especially in a courtroom. I honestly don& #39;t think I could do it. It& #39;s been 16 years, this is the first time I& #39;ve actually said anything about it. Until now, nobody knew.

This is why we say to trust victims. This is why we support those who have been affected. It& #39;s a severely stressing experience to go through. I am on the verge of breaking down just writing this thread.

If you ever had to go through this, I am so sorry you were subjected to that. I am here for you and will listen, I believe you, even if you don& #39;t have the courage to stand up and say something. I understand what you are going through.
