When I turned 19, I went to visit the uncle I was closest too. He was my mentor, confidante and friend and when he made a move to kiss me and I moved away he said

"Why are you denying me, I& #39;ve been good waiting for you, didn& #39;t touch you, not all men could& #39;ve waited"

A shiver ran through me because he insinuated he could have raped me but didn& #39;t because he thought I would award him my virginity.

He was the uncle, mothers approved of because he was decent, the one that comes to the house without calling, the one that& #39;s trusted.

That was the last day I called him uncle or visited him and when I told him I& #39;ve already had sex, he went berserk, nearly cried. It was so funny to watch.

That was the day I said NO to male mentors, that was the day I started asking men around me"what do you want?"
