#MeToo

OK, My turn. When I was 5, my parents moved to a great big house in a city.  I had lots of friends that lived nearby, and that I went to school with at the Catholic School.  But one boy came over a lot more than the others.  He lived with his grandmother because his mother was in prison.  For what, I don't know, but I do know that he had a very troubled life.  He was a few years older than me, but he still came over to "play" all the time.  At first, I was happy to play with him, then things changed.  He wanted me to kiss him.  I didn't want to.  It made me uncomfortable.  He threatened me with all sorts of things.  The more I resisted, the worse and more outlandish the threats got.  Remember, I was 5, threats of magic, and other such things, worked on my overactive imagination.  The threat that worked the most was that he would make my parents disappear if I didn't kiss him like they did in the movies.  He would do things like "lock" me in the bathtub
