Last summer I was invited on a trip with my close friend and her family I was really excited about the vacation looking forward to spending time away The trip was planned to last for 9 days, which felt like the perfect amount of time for a summer getaway. However what was supposed to be a fun and safe experience quickly turned into a deeply uncomfortable and distressing situation because of the behavior of my friend’s grandfather. On just the second day of the 9 day trip, I was caught completely off guard. The grandfather came up directly behind me while I wasn't paying attention and began rubbing my sides. It wasn't an accidental bump or a casual, polite greeting; it was a deliberate, unwanted touch that immediately made my stomach drop and put me on edge. I was sitting on the couch, minding my own business and focusing on playing a game on the computer. Without warning, the grandfather came over and sat down right next to me. He then reached out and began rubbing my inner thigh.
