Science Guy Died

from A Thousand Tiny Steps · host Barb Higgins

Science Guy was my high school biology teacher who I lost my virginity to. He died a couple of months ago and I only found out a few weeks ago. I'm grieving for him and many people have an opinion on that. But two things can be true: I can realize the good moments we had together and also realize it was inappropriate.    Key Takeaways:    [0:00] Being sexually abused as a child and being told to be quiet  [4:20] Science guy died a few months ago, reeling in the good and bad [11:35] Feeling wanted by an older man and joining track to spend time with him  [16:29] I took my post on grieving Bruce down as the comments were ugly [20:57] The relationship was inappropriate, but it wasn't uncommon  [26:08] Part of me is angry that it feels like people tell me how to heal  [28:42] Being told I had to tell my story in front of the school board  [30:07] Being attacked for this and getting a restraining order  [32:10] Still crying over the mix of emotions I feel  [34:51] I know there are many more people like me  Resources:   The Silence of Great Distance  Connect with Barb:   Website   Facebook    Instagram   Be a guest on the podcast    YouTube   The Molly B Foundation
