How to stop justify what happened to you

I know what happened to me was bad and if it was anyone else that did it to me I would 100% say it was assault, but my mind keeps trying to make justifications for why they did it and it’s never good enough, but I keep doing it

Of course they knew it was inappropriate, you can’t grab a child’s chest and butt and not think it’s a little inappropriate, but what if they did? What if they just didn’t think it was a big deal and I’m making a big deal out of something that was just meant to be a joke

It’s so frustrating, I know it was wrong, my mind just can’t help but to justify it, does anyone have suggestions to help with this? I don’t want to talk to a therapist, I don’t want anyone to know what happened really, I think I just need help knowing these thoughts one day will be quiet:(
