Question by : I was molested when i was 10?
Okay. Well this happened to me when i was 10 years old.
My cousin was going to have a baby, and me and my other cousins from out of state were staying the night at her house.
They were all drinking, my cousin that was pregnant wasn’t, she went to sleep. My Uncle, me, and my other cousins were still up. My cousins and I were watching a horror movie, it was kinda late, about 11:30 or so. My cousins fell asleep, but i find it hard to fall asleep in the middle of the movie.
My uncle came out from the kitchen, and asked me if i was scared. I simply replied, “Yeah, well this is a scary part..” He kinda got annoyed and went back into the kitchen.
Soon, the movie was over and i didn’t notice but i had fallen asleep right before the end. I was must have just fallen asleep, because i rolled over after feeling something touch me.
I kinda opened my eyes after, and looked, it was my uncle. I thought to myself, “Whats he doing up still? must be turning off the movie..”
But then i felt him place his hand back on my butt.. I rolled over again, it scared him. he sat on the couch. (Me and cousins were sleeping on the floor in front of the T.v.) He sat there for a few minutes.
I was facing one of my cousins, she was asleep still, My uncle bent down, and touched her boobs.. I rolled over again, remembering that it might scare him off of her. It did. he kept trying to touch her, so i rolled over and over repeatedly. he was really drunk.
He must have got tired of trying, so he went into the bathroom, peed, and went into the other bedroom.
In that time, my heart was racing, only a 10 year old girl.. I didn’t know what to do. So i woke my cousin up. and told her what had happened. she couldnt believe it, but she did believe me. We layed back down, soon, not being able to go back to sleep, i looked at the clock, it was 3:30 on a Sunday morning. My cousin stayed up with me, she was scared too. (She was like 14 at the time) We heard my uncle coming back out, he was in his underwear. He slowly walked over to me, and layed down. I think he was about to put his arm around me, and my cousin popped her head up and said “What are you doing?” He replied with “uhh.. nothing, nothing. going to bed.” He got up and went into his bedroom.
Later that day, i was sick to my stomach. My dad called and said he was taking me to church, i begged him not to make me go, he yelled at me and said i had to.
Well, we were in church, i was traumatized. I kept falling asleep from the lack of sleep that i had that night, and then all of a sudden, i felt like i was going to through up.I ran into the bathroom, my parents said i could go wait in the car.
I didnt know how to tell my parents.. i didn’t know how to put it.
i was still having nightmares.
About 3 months later, my cousins called and said her mom was going to call back in 10 minutes, and tell my mom what happened.
She did, I finally broke down to my mom, and told her what happened.
About a month later, my cousin had found out (the pregnant one) and called me, and demanded to know the truth, she said i was lying. I under stand her for not wanting to believe me, that was her husband.
It’s 4 years later, going on 5.
The cops were never called, they now have 2 children, but they are divorcing.
Is it to late to do anything about it?
I didn’t mean to write a story, but come on.. The man who molested me lives right down the road from me now.

I don’t really have advice for you on that, but I just wanted to say I’m sorry that happened to you. I can, from personal experience, tell you that you’re not alone. If that helps, which I doubt.
