As a teenager. None as an adult

The strangest was by my grandfather. The entire family was in the living room watching football - including me and my grandfather. He commented about how I was growing up, then suddenly grabbed my breast in front of everyone. Everyone saw it. My dad yelled and yelled at him. It turned into quite a scene.

Us girls all ran into another room and we laughed about it for several hours, because it was so brazen and strange. My grandfather died a few weeks later, so I never had to face him again. (Maybe he was losing his faculties when he did this) This is my last memory of him.

After he died, my grandmother would tell me stories about his serial groping and all sorts of stuff.

ETA: The other gropings occurred with classmates and were extremely painful, emotionally. Happened at school: on the bus, in the stairs, at my locker. It was just awful and I felt dirty. I always felt it was my fault. It was awful.
