Did anyone else take awhile to realise, that what happened to themselves was molestation?

I was molested by my mother as a little boy. I didn't realise as a little boy, that what she was doing to me was wrong. I thought, that she was showing me something "amazing." Because it sadly felt "good," while at the same time it was also EXTREMELY PHYSICALLY PAINFUL.

I thought, that she was just showing me her "love." As a little boy I didn't realise, that what she did wasn't "love." I only realised with the help of other people, that what she did to me was wrong.

My mother managed to make me believe, that her HORRID actions were "love." I HATE MYSELF for taking EXTREMELY LONG and even needing outside help to realise, that what she did wasn't love.

Did anyone else also not realise for awhile, that what happened to them was molestation? Did anyone else also believe, that it was "love?"
