M y sister is suffering from high depression right now because she was sexually

abused in her childhood.
-Nitin

I have never said this to anyone, not even my parents. I too am a victim of child
sexual abuse. When I was 7 years old, we shifted to a new house in a new town.
I came from a village for the irst time along with my parents. There was this
neighbour whom I called bhaiya. He was cheerful, funny and had a good impression
in the locality.

We used to store milk in his refrigerator and I usually went there to get the milk.
One day, he took me inside and locked the door. He then removed his top and made
me lie on the bed and moved all over me, moaning. He then kissed me on my lips
and stopped after some time. He then gave me the milk packet as if nothing had
happened. This continued for several days and since
I was afraid of him, I started sending my little
brother to get the milk.

Luckily, before things could become worse,
we shifted to another house. My mother
missed that locality and used to ask me if
I remember bhaiya and others.
I would always say “Not a clue”
even though I remembered. I
didn’t tell my mother because
she was a bit immature and sensitive.
And I didn’t disclose to my father
too because I was afraid of him.
