    I am 26 and for three years from 11 till I was 14, I had sex several times a week with a neighbour. Now up until a few months ago I never considered this rape and maybe I still don't. It was something I had blocked from my mind, I do know the first time we did it I didn't really want it but I grew to like like the affection he gave me. I suppose its dumb but its the storyline in eastenders that got me thinking about it again and why it ended. He left to do a teaching job in Canada and I just got on with my life. But I don't know whats going on with me but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it o0ver the last few days. I couldn't even leave the house this morning to go to work. I always wondered why I couldn't have a normal boyfriend like my friends, I never feel anything real for anyone. I do like sex more than most girls and do things that alot of people would consider taking it too far but I have never felt love for someone. I just feel so empty today, just felt like I have woken up from a dream into a nightmare.
