Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Drafting a letter to my MOPs group about Pearls

I think the letter is wonderful.

I do have a correction, though, and it's my fault for not being precise. My grandfather did not actually rape me because my clothes were still on, however, well, I won't be explicit but I'll just say that things still happened with clothes on. He sexually molested me & my siblings, but there was no rape as technically defined in the dictionary (but you might or might not be surprised how much can happen with clothes on). He did almost everything to us but rape, which is sick enough and certainly scarred us, or at least me, for a lifetime. Having been a victim of rape at age 19 I am certain of what it is. What my grandfather did was not that, but it still makes my skin crawl to this day.
