When I was a little boy my aunt molested me. Then her younger sister also molested me. When I got to be 12 I molested my little sister. It stopped there since I matured and realized what I was doing was harming my little sister.
Years later one of my aunts approached me and apologized for molesting me. What she did actually felt good so I accepted her apology and forgave her, not that I thought what she did was especially bad but just to make her stop feeling bad about it. The other aunt was mean about it and hurt me a lot when she molested me and she never apologized. I think she molested her sons. Both are doing time for drug offenses.
Anyway the first aunt told me how her grandfather molested her. Going on a genealogy web site I did some research into my family. I discovered he fled Ireland in 1905 after being charged with committing "unnatural acts." I did more research and found that in those days in Ireland, a charge of "unnatural acts" included everything from child molesting to sex with animals or homosexuality. I doubt he was homo since he did my aunt and I doubt he did anything with animals. they didn't have any pets and I'm pretty sure if he liked animals he would have had pets. So doing further research I found that both his father and grandfather were at different times charged with committing "unnatural acts." I never found evidence they were convicted but I did find evidence that they moved around a lot. I also found that both had brothers who were priests who also were charged with committing unnatural acts. That is as far as I could trace my family tree but I found at least a dozen men with the same last name in the same county going back over 200 years all charged with committing unnatural acts. Statistically that is about 50 times the rate of the average population. Based on all this I estimate that about 30 members of my family over about 7 r 8 generations have been molesting younger family members for the last 200 years. I can't help the past but I can stop the present. I am undergoing surgery to have my penis removed and am going to start hormones next week to chemically turn me into a eunuch. The abuse stops with me.
