Today has been tough, really tough, it needed to be done but it wasnt easy.
Today I reported 2 incidents in my life, 2 incidents which have played my mind for a very long time.
The first an incident which occured in first grade primary school. It involved a male predator and a few other young girls who were in my year. I had many vague recollections of the incident but in the past few weeks crystal clear memories have brought me distress. I recalled the police coming to our school and myself lying about what had happened out of fear. It has been wrenching at my gut and i today reported my full recollections of the event.
The second incident involved a male who lived in our house for a while. My parents eventually found out what was happening and kicked him out. For reasons I won't mention he was never reported by my parents and their reason for this does not sit well with me. I know it was occurring from the same offender to other girls who were daughters of my parents friends. I have contacted my step father asking him to come forward about what he knows. My mother I really have no wish to speak to but guess I must.
All though both incidents were over 30 years ago it is never to late to come forward. The police woman I spoke with from the special unit was very kind, helpful and reassuring.
Why now? I don't know. I am not known for being backwards in coming forward but its something I just had to do now. Before today the only people who knew about the school incident was those of us who were there. I had never told anyone. The person who was living with us I have quite openly talked about what happened, though never in detail.
It's never to late to come forward, never.
I will have a trek ahead with some of this but am glad I broke my silence.
