In 1951, I was 10 years old, and exactly what my 23 year old teacher thought I was perfect as a potential lover.. I froze when she touched me, and I couldn’t even think of pushing her away, let alone telling someone.. I thought I would get into trouble if anyone found out about it..
She was married to a 6’ tall, High School baseball coach, that looked like he could kill a grown man.. I was a curly headed kid, barely 4’ 9” tall, and still playing tag in the school yard..
The crime went on for almost 2 years, until she was relocated to a middle school.. I thought I loved her and was heartbroken when she left.. I wrote her love poems for a couple of years, but never heard back from her.. I couldn’t talk about it until I was over 50..
Still to this day, I have a knee-jerk reaction, I still get frightened, when a strange woman touches me, until I pause and think about it.. That’s not saying that I haven’t recovered from it, because I was married with children, twice, but it is never far from my mind..
Male or Female, that kind of thing needs to be dealt with harshly. I mean a few public executions to spread the message may be in order.
That’s a sad story my Friend. I’d like to rip your teacher’s throat out for what she did to you. Sick, sick, sick.
I’m happy you were able to become a husband and dad.
I am so very very sorry. That should never have happened to you. She chose evil over good.
I have a precious 10 year old. I’d just die if someone did that to him.
