I grew up thinking it was normal for grown men to be attracted to little girls. My mother had a habit of pointing out random men who just happened to be around and telling me they were staring at me/thinking about how beautiful I was/in love with my/trying to look up my skirt. The way she talked about it made it seem like it was a common, acceptable thing.
holy crap I hope you got out of that situation quick, this should NOT be normalized
My heart breaks for you in this
…WAT…
As a man, I was worried about that growing up, but the women I'm attracted to has aged with me. I'm friends with some women under 30 from the dog park, and I can appreciate they're pretty but they also look like kids. I hope they meet nice guys around their age.
What in the fuck 🤮
What, and I cannot emphasize this enough, the fuck
I think she had undiagnosed mental issues, tbh.
So it wasn’t just my mom.
I really wonder where they got this from! Strangely enough, when I was a teen and actually starting to get inappropriate attention from men, she would never believe that it happened.
I hope things are better for you now x
Yeah, I realized as an adult that most grown men actually aren't interested in kids.
It was not your fault. <3
Thanks.
