Dear Darwin, thank you for sharing such personal information of your past and present sexual abuse. How absolutely horrid that your were twice harmed by a friend of your family. I wish I could say something to comfort you; such inexcusable actions have left a deep scar. I am so very sorry that you were repeatedly sexually abused.

Furthermore, I consider being pinched on your butt to be another form of sexual abuse. That man behaved in very wrongful behavior. I wish that every LGBTQ person would fully respect other people's right to not be abusively touched.

Thank you for the courage to share and I am deeply sorry for your wounds.

Compassionately,

Mike
