Public non religious schooling helped. I had sorted things out pretty early on that being alone with any adult was not beneficial. I was a nervous and frightened child and I honestly believe that it saved me on many occasions. My best friend whom I have known since I was four did not have such luck.
You just got lucky. Poor kids get sexually assaulted in the pastor’s private office instead.
Christian terminology for religious leaders is so insulting. A pastor implies that his followers are sheep, incapable of critical thought.
