Is this true?

    • Re: Is this true?

      Any kind of sexual trauma will affect you, you can be sure of that. It's a psychological thing where any sexual trauma you've experienced when you were younger (whether it be molestation, rape, exposure to pornography, etc) will affect your relationships with other men (since it was a man who was the one to touch you.)

      Can molestation effect you later in life? If so, I think it may have affected me. When I was 8, my best friend/cousin molested me. I’ve never wanted to be around men after that, even today. Is it because of that? Or something else?

      With regards to Jenn's reply, Yes, she is highly correct. The reason your relationships with men/boys are suffering right now, because somewhere in your mind, your reliving it and you are afraid that it will happen again.

      I am sorry for what you had to go through, no one should ever have too and I hope he was punished as no one deserves to go through what you did.

      You may want to see professional counselling about it, because its okay to talk it out and work on it. Its going to be difficult and painful as you may be brought back to it.

      You also have to know that all men aren't like that, I would never think of violating a girl or a woman in anyway and the thought of someone doing it completely sickens me. What happened to you is awful but not every guy is the same. Your going to have to work with a therapist to be able to have a relationship or friendship with a boy or this will affect your whole life and you cannot let this happen, you are stronger and you are willed and don’t let a awful thing hold you back from your dreams.

      Stay strong,

      I cried so hard when my mom found out. I though I was going to be in trouble for some reason...he cummed on me when we played hide in seek. He told my cousins (same age as me to hide) and then come get me, and make rub "Max". Sometimes I just stare at his picture on the internet criminal recoreds and then I feel numb....

      umm, sometimes it caused by the PTSD and the depression. Its similar as forming a bond with a captor during a kidnapping, but different and a different subject.

      I stated above You may want to see professional counselling about it, because its okay to talk it out and work on it. Its going to be difficult and painful as you may be brought back to it.

      Your story deeply saddens me. I extend my condolences to you, for such a horrible event should never happen to anyone. Sexual abuse can trigger sexual trauma, and you might have to see a professional to work through all the tough times you've had. What your cousin did to you was completely unacceptable and disrespectful and I hope the law punished him to the full extent possible. Please, let me tell you, not all men do such vile, digusting things. Some men are very caring, honest, and respectful. Maybe you should join a sexual abuse support group to discuss your innermost thoughts and feelings? Either way, I hope you get better and please, don't hesitate to PM me if you want to ask any questions or need advice.

      Take Care,
      AA:hugs:

      Um, recently one of my very very close friends was raped, she has been completely different since... I know many other people too that were sexually abused. It happens much more then you would think. Since then, these people have always been like really touchy and ... Well I can do my best to explain it using a scenario..

      My best friend's girlfriend was raped and sexually abused several times. Since then, she has been really nervous, and for 3 months wouldn't even go into her boyfriends room, because she was terrified.

      You are going to need someone to talk to about this, and it's probably going to be with you for a long time to come, and it will probably affect you forever, but that doesn't mean it is going to ruin your life. I know someone who was raped her entire childhood, she was deeply effected by it, but in the long run, it has made her such a better person, and she has been able to help so many people that that has happened to. I'm not saying that it is a good thing to happen to anyone, but it isn't necessarily a horrible thing that will ruin your life forever. There are ways to overcome it, and even make yourself stronger through it.

      If you ever need anyone to talk to, I am always here. My email is right below this post.
