#My1stExperienceWithAnxiety was on a trip back from King's Island when I was 3 yrs old.
I was in the back of a station wagon w/my 11 yr old uncle. My 9 yr old brother was in the seats in front.
My uncle molested me & I was too afraid to do anything but pretend to be asleep.

I told everyone when we got to the house.
I said, innocently, like only a child can, "Guess what Uncle Donald did to me on the way home?" in front of his parents & mine.
SILENCE
ANXIETY
My 3 yr old self: (Did I do something wrong?)

My grandmother didn't seem to grasp the reality of the situation. Maybe she didn't believe me. 💔
My parents packed immediately & prepared to leave Cincinnati, along with my innocence.
My grandmother told me I had 'UPSET' Uncle Donald & told me he had something to say to me...
