Ptsd from sexual abuse

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

I've been sexually abused by my own relatives. When I was much younger my uncle touched me inappropriately during family gatherings and said it was our little game. It felt wrong but I was too young to understand what was happening. Now years later I have a fear of being touched. I couldn't understand why I acted this way so I started thinking back to my childhood and discovered that this was the reason. I can't let anybody in and it wasn't even my fault.

I'm so sorry that you had to bear that. Do you feel like getting some sort of justice is going to make you feel better? If yes then tell your parents about what happened, they deserve to know. This way atleast you won't have to face him ever again.

An uncle doing that to you is disgusting. You're such a strong person for still going on with everything just the same. If you face intimacy issues with a current partner or a future one because of this then you should come out clean and tell them the whole story. Only somebody who accepts and understands your trauma deserves to be a part of your life.

You should take a stand and let someone close to know this . If u can't then just create a scene and let other people see what kind of discusting cteature he is .Stay strong my human
