Adult

---

Now as an adult with trauma of this nature, I am very aware of my surroundings, I'm very attentive to kids because that was what I needed back then for someone to notice. It went from “small things” but things that would be very weird if you gathered all that information and you noticed something was very wrong. It went from him making the girl sit on his lap in public to slapping her ass at family gatherings, from touching her waist, etc, these things could go unnoticed but if done by a man to a little girl, a man that was known for being evil, a man everyone hated for his personality, his actions, and manners, why would nobody notice anything? That's a question I can't understand to this day. It holds anger in my heart but again I do not blame anyone for not noticing, who in their right mind would sexualize encounters like this, who in their right mind would think someone had these intentions with a child? Nobody wants to think of that.
