Being a late bloomer is ok, but probably most important for a kid’s development is to be a present and engaged parent. Thankful to have the opportunity to live and work from a place of service, wrestle with my ego every day
Did you tell anyone in your family about it at any point? If so, how old were you when you told them about it?Jorge wrote:No, she was an adult and I was a minor. I understand now why it shouldn't have happened but it didn't feel wrong at the time and when I think back on the situation today I don't feel hurt or victimized by it
Totally makes sense. You seem pretty close to your family, so I just wondered if it ever got discussed.Jorge wrote:No I didn't tell anyone in my family. It didn't seem particularly significant beyond the usual "yay I lost my V-card" thing
