this movement prompted me to report my own abuse. At 15, a priest made sure my swimsuit fit correctly in a dark locker room. No penetration or sex, but he ran his fingers on my bare sack a few times. I told no one for over 30 years. The woman that was handling my report said they are inundated with reports going back to the 60's. They will be purged whether they go along willingly or not..
thanks Anon. My whole life, I just buried it telling myself it was no big deal. When I finally faced it, I was amazed at the emotion that poured from me. It wasn't the act itself, it was the betrayal of trust. Turns out I was one of more than 20 this priest had abused and they kept shuffling him to high schools in Cali. Others were abused much worse than I. I'm finally starting to heal. I have the anons, Q, and many night shifts to thank. Never said anything to anyone prior to the report itself, but this movement is about being accountable to ourselves and our values. And that was the tipping point.
