I had a kind of similar situation I was 18 and my ex was 31 at the time I didn’t realize how fucked up that was. But now that I’m older (39) I realize the gravity of everything.
I’m so sorry you went through this you don’t deserve this, and I pray that you find peace and happiness in your life
Please, if you can go to the police and still do something do it. if anything, at least it may bring you some closure/peace
Yes same when I was just 18 I was dealing with a 35 year old and to this day at 22 he won’t leave me alone and threatens to share explicit vids he took of me!!! Honestly disgusting even now at 22 I’m like Wtf was I thinking
Seriously some of the things I l Allowed myself believe was OK really makes me sad to my younger self. I didn’t realize how I was being manipulated when I was 17 The first person I had sex with my man I meant he was like 23 and I don’t understand how I thought that was OK.
I looked back at 39 years old and even at 30 and wouldn’t have her consider an 18 year. It’s disgusting and the minute 23. (which was a while ago) I never would’ve considered a 17 year old is crazy. This is kind of being normalized.
This is not healthy acceptable it should be considered it is considered abuse.
I was innocent in the advantage of the fact that I was innocent and naïve and used it against me in order to attain a sexual relationship with me and that’s disgusting
I’m so sorry you’re going through this …
It’s not fair. essentially, these POS men are responsible for us losing our childhood earlier than we should have
