Hi, all. I am new here. I guess i dont know where else to turn for opinions or advice. Well here goes- in a nutshell, I am suddenly guilt ridden and anxiety struck, over something I did as a child. My entire life, i never ever thought anything of it at all, except that it was so embarrassing! Now I'm at a point where idk what to do anymore. Well here goes-
When i was about 7, my cousin and I (about 2 yrs older than I), kissed and dry humped (if youd even wanna call it that). It was something in the way of playing boyfriend/gf. And absolutely nothing more ever happened. Clothes never came off, I never touched his penis or vice versa, yadda yadda. 1 day i just woke up, realized we werent supposed to be doing such things, and i told him i didnt want to do them anymore. He couldn't understand why! I just told him i was done, and that was that. And weve had a perfectly normal relationship ever since.
As ive said, never did i feel anything but embarrassment over it my entire life. Now, about 25 years later, im married with children who are my life. And i cant help but be consumed with anxiety and guilt over this every day of my life. I can hardly function over it. Constantly thinking I'm going to be on a sex offender list 1 day bc of it. Any opinions will be helpful on this. As idk if im overreacting or not. Thanks, all.
