Man, I don't know if this is a good idea but here goes.
Aged 11 or so, the bus driver of our school bus reached around behind his seat and held my leg. I was forced to sit behind him every day as I was bullied and it was deemed the worst place to sit on the bus.
15, I was a school refuser and went to a local community arts organisation (parents sanctioned as I was otherwise v isolated). A man in his 20s would regularly grab the bum or boobs of women that passed by, including me. He was a family friend.
16, through said arts organisation I met a group of people into film making. 26 year old man wanted me in one of their films. Topless. I stayed the night at his house (estranged from my parents, nowhere to go) and he tried to have sex with me. I said no.
On my 21st birthday, I was in Amsterdam with my 12 years older boyfriend (also met at same arts org). He disappeared in the middle of the night and left me one in our hotel room. I later found out he was a regular abuser of prostitutes. My sister knew him and said he was a nice guy.a
24, I mentioned to a mate I fancied a mutual friend. I went over to mates house for a few drinks and mutual friend was there. We both dossed on the living room floor and late in the night after making me feel shit about myself, he raped me. It had been organised.
At 27 I met my lovely husband. It's taken me a long time to realise the pattern of abuse that blighted my adolescence and early 20s. Being made to feel worthless leads to other abuses. I still struggle to deal with it. None of these incidence have had consequences for the men involved.
I've never put all that information in one place before.
