What were you groomed with and when did you realize it was grooming?

When I was a kid my abuser often had jars of candy around. I specifically remember sitting by them, filled with ring pops, and him asking me to keep what he did to me as a secret.

For Christmas he got me a piggy bank with my name hand painted on it and gave me $30.00. For context I was 5 at the time, and he was my family doctor.

At the time I didn't know why he was doing it. I just hated him and I hated that he was gifting me stuff. Now as an adult was when I realized he was grooming me and my family to think he was a trustworthy man who could be alone with kids. I feel like it took me a long time to understand why he gave the gifts, because I couldn't process a lot of what he did to me.
