Feeling an intense mixture of emotions and hoping that others will relate in some way.
When I was little (maybe about 10?) I remember telling my mum that my great uncle had touched my bum when he had his arm around me. She said she was sure he hadn't meant to and not to worry - but not to hug him any more if I didn't feel comfortable. I never hugged him again after that and he never tried to hug me.
I always had a bad feeling about him. Fast forward 20 years and it's now confirmed that he is a pedophile with a penchant for young boys. My gut instinct was right about him.
AIBU to ask you for similar experiences? DSis thinks you can't trust gut instincts but I defo feel vindicated.
