TW: grooming, SA A couple months ago, I made a very horrible realization about my first relationship. I was taken advantage of by a grown man while I was a teenager. He knew that it was wrong and yet he still chose to go through with it anyway. This was my very first relationship and I had no previous experience. I’m also autistic and at the time I didn’t know how to recognize any red flags. He always told me how I was mature for my age. Whenever we were together he was always checking to make sure we were completely alone. He just wanted me to himself. He was my first kiss. We never had sex but he still put his hands in places where they should’ve never been. I still can feel his hands on me years later. Although I’m in a much healthier relationship now and I’m currently in therapy to process what happened, he still ruined everything for me. Some people knew but did nothing, so he got away with it. How come he gets to live like nothing happened while I have to suffer?
