When I was entering my teens I unfortunately had little by the way of parental provisions and ended up in the company of older people and some who took advantage of my vulnerability.
There is one person I've struggled to 'forget about' because many years later they've tried to initiate contact with me, now in my adult years, and send inappropriate messages seemingly oblivious to the fact they'd done any wrong when I was a child.
Aged 14 I entered into a sexual relationship with a neighbour who was then in his late twenties. I was flattered by the attention and stupidly believed he liked me
The mother of his children who he was on and off with, found out about it and assaulted me as she believed or had been told that I had initiated the 'affair' - I didn't. He pursued me for weeks. This woman knew how old I was, and in hindsight her behavior after the fact knocks me sick. I was labeled a slag and my name became mud in the street as people she was friendly with became aware of the situation, themselves choosing to overlook the fact it was practically child abuse, and looked at me as though I had brought it on myself.
We moved out of the area.
Fast forward ten years the piece of slime finds me on social media and begins sending crude messages about the time spent together and how he'd love to do it again. I responded and reminded him that I was a child, I wanted him to admit the fact so I had evidence I could take to the police if I decided to. He did.
Now, WIBU to report this to the police many years later? There is no physical evidence, but people knew about it and I have his confession in the conversation which the police could link back to him.
Also interested if anybody else shares the same opinion of his now ex partner, and thinks I'm to blame for any of this?
I can't seem to get over it all, even though it was 'consensual' I now see it for what it is, or what I believe it to me - child abuse.
