My Daughter Asked Me a Question About My Past. My Response Might've Scarred Her.
Briefly

Because of this, she is always way more concerned about me than I'd like, even though I've had many conversations letting her know it is not her job to worry about my emotions, etc.
And while I have had talks with my kid about all manner of abuse, including sexual, it was always far removed from personal emotion, because I was leading the conversation and in control of the content.
As soon as the show mentioned Nassar and "sexual abuse," my daughter asked me point-blank if that had ever happened to me. I hate to admit it, but I broke down hard.
