When I was in elementary school until I was about 18 or 19, my father (who had some severe back problems and needed surgery) developed arthritis, which gave him sciatica. I would massage his unclothed lower back, and also his unclothed buttocks to help ease the pain. I am older now, and when I think back on it I know I was trying to help my father feel better, but I feel awkward about it. I think it crossed boundaries, and I am wondering if it might be considered childhood sexual abuse. I don't remember it being sexual in nature, but now that I am an adult I sadly see it from a different angle. Sometimes he would give me a little money to help him, and I don't think he meant any harm to me...but while it made me uncomfortable then, it makes me even more so now, and I have to wonder.
