When I was a little girl some guy molested me ...Should I keep it a secret forever?

Question

When I was a little girl some guy molested me I?m not sure how old I was, maybe around6,7; after that we came to America I?m now 16, anyways I?m very confused I don?t know if I should tell my parents, do I have to??? What if my future husband asks me if I?m virgin, then what???? Will I have to tell him about this before I marry???? I?m so confused; I think about this every day, I?m so hurt inside.... please help......

Answer

The referred abuse did not affect your virginity. There is no need to inform
your future husband.
