A story, in his own words.

“When we're comfortable enough to confide in those closest to us about what happened to us, it's so liberating. You are being seen for who you are, your past and all these crappy things, and you're being loved and accepted.”

Groomed by 3rd Grade Teacher & Sexual Identity Confusion | Male Sexual Abuse
