Tuesday

When I was 15, my Uncle's 30 something best friend put his arm around me after he had been drinking. I asked him to remove it. I threatened him. I counted down, loudly, to digging my nails into his skin if he did not remove his hand. This was all in front of my Uncle! The next day my mom grounded me for a week. The guy showed her the bits of skin I took from his hand with my nails. I explained to her what happened. She said I could have moved away from him! In my own house! The grounding stood. I never forgave her for that.
