Grooming a person, to me, means that you get into their brain and find a weak spot you can use for your own needs. It doesn't have to be sexual.
It felt like having a good time, partying, being with older people, being driven around in fast cars. It made me feel better about myself - until I was in crashes and being pulled over by the police. But by that time it was hard to get out of.
I know now I was being groomed. But it's hard to accept when it's happening to you.
I didn't realise how bad it was at the time. I genuinely thought I was safe.
