Babysitter coerced me when I was a kid but I don't feel traumatized and am unsure how to feel.
​
I posted this in a comment of another post and a redditor reached out to me and said really letting this out might help me understand how I should feel about this.
This happened when I was around 6 years old and he was around 16 or 17.
"Nick" (the babysitter) was the son of a family friend and would play videogames with me a lot when he'd come over and he kind of became a big brother figure to me
One day my parents decided he could babysit me.
And once we were alone his demeanor changed and he wouldn't hang out or play with me anymore for some reason
I didn't understand why and I remember asking him "please could we play the ps2 together I'll do anything"
And he said "anything at all in the world?"
I said yes
Then he pulled his pants down and told me if I suck on it until he tells me to stop he'll play with me
So I did.
I don't remember many details besides thinking it was weird
At one point he told me to go faster and be careful with my teeth
Eventually he held onto my head so I wouldn't pull away and finished in my mouth.
He told me to swallow it and I did
After that I immediately went to the bathroom and washed my mouth out and brushed my teeth
He never did babysit me again after that and I don't remember seeing him that much again.
My parents and the family friend stopped talking not long afterwards too.
Subconsciously I knew what happened was wrong in a way but I never said anything to my parents or anyone else about it.
And i feel weird for not feeling traumatized about this
I wish it didn't happen because no child should ever have to do that
I personally feel nothing about it though. Whenever i think about it I just think "oh yeah that happened to me" but I don't feel scared ashamed or disgusted and I feel like I should.
I think part of the reason I don't feel traumatized is because I willingly did it
He didn't force me (until the very end)
I just..don't really know how I should feel about it
Maybe actually putting it out there will resolve this i don't know.
