    Am I a grown adult that wakes up in a foster care home and the child that was there previously is gone?
    Do I have to spend the rest of my life without an identity, or clinging to the “delusion” that I was this child that mysteriously disappeared?

    Am I a child with 40 years of life experience?
    Not long after, When I was 14, my first consensual sexual experience involved an 18-year-old. We got caught, and folks widely regard/regarded her as being inappropriate/in the wrong. Huh. First girlfriend, high school dances/romances. College. Jesus - every relationship basically forever.
    If I proceed down the same path, does that mean I’m the creep now?
