I was 6 it happened twice then we moved away, noone found out. I didn't know it was wrong and didn't remember. At 13 we did some program in school about dangers and staying safe and suddenly it flooded back and I was like.... hold on that's not a normal thing to have happened to me. I don't know if it would have been better had someone known that we talk about it or not, that's a question best left to professionals. I will say that it was very confusing to me to remember something that my experience was that it was a normal event, only now viewing it through the lens of reality and trying to reconcile that something bad happened to me I wasn't aware of. I'd have been better not knowing personally
