Geggiah asked in HealthMental Health · 7 years ago

Have I been sexually abused?

Okay, so recently I don't know why but I keep having these flashbacks of me when I was 4 years old (I'm 17 now) and I was taking a shower with my mother's boyfriend at the time. I just remember being inside the shower, seeing him naked and every time I happen to think about it I feel so uncomfortable and scared. But the fact is that I also remember my mom being there outside the shower telling me that everything was okay. I don't know if this is actually true or not though...

I also remember that, during the same period, so when I was 4/5 years old, I was pretending to have sex with a big doll I had and I was engaging in "sexual acts" with kids my age (like touching and letting them touch me and proper kissing...and I was 4). This kept going until I was around 10 years old.

And if I think about my mom's ex boyfriend, I can't remember anything good about him, not even one good moment we spent together. Just the really bad experiences. This one and that one time he slapped me so hard that I fell and hit my nose on the table and bleed. That's all I remember.

I also remember always feeling uncomfortable around him, all the time.

Please take this question seriously, this thing is really bothering me now...thanks.

    Therapy can help you to remember, especially under hypnosis. If her boyfriend did molest you and your mom knew about it both could go to prison. Child molestation has NO PLACE IN THIS WORLD. Geggiah, if you need to talk more, I'll be here. I'm sure that others can and will help you as well.

    No. You were 4, plenty of parents/guardians shower/bathe together. It's normal.

    And I touched people when I was that young, doesn't mean it was sexual..infact how can it be sexual when you're so young..it's just playing together like children do.

    You're overthinking.

    Yes, there are times everyone gets flashbacks, and the point you're feeling uncomfortable is what your mind is thinking now about the situation, so maybe you don't like him? or or didn't trust him etc, its what you're feeling now and not then, and no you arent sexualy abused jesus christ

    It sounds like you may have post traumatic stress disorder. Go to a doctor and tell them your concerns.

    If you are having these kinds of memories and feeling I would suggest going to therapy.
