I think was sexually abused as a child, what shoud I do?

Question

I have had this feeling that I was abused by my father before, and looking at all the symptoms of sexual abuse, I think I'm right. What should I do? I'm lucky enough to not remember it, should I not say anything?

Answer 1

I suggest going to a therapist and getting hypnotized, sometimes that can bring out memories, that is if you want to remember.

Answer 2

well if you keep thinking about it then maybe talk to a very trustworthy friend or even a doctor about it

Answer 3

you need to get help for this before you have children because this type of abuse gets passed on. Your dad was probably abused from his dad, and his dad by his...and so on. You need to get help to break the cycle.

Answer 4

SHUT UP MAC. Dont listen to Mac. Sexual abuse is evil. E V I L. (so dont do it to your own kids). you need to alert the police asap so that you can put your mind at rest and get your father arrested, otherwise he mite do the same thing to your children. you dont want that, do you? paedophiles should be locked up and castrated. also you could go see a psychiartrist so that you are not left mentally and emotionally scarred.

Answer 5

You don't say how old you are now, so, if you are still under the age of 18 speak with you mother or a trusted adult.  Usually a school teacher or counselor.  If you are now an adult, start by seeking counseling at a local mental health center.  Get evaluated and talk it out with someone who is trained to deal with these situations.  Based on your counseling, you'll figure out what steps you want to take in coming to terms with what happened and who did it to you.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

you are weird !  if you can not remember it why would you think it happened?  what symptoms? if you dont know you were molested  how can you have any symptoms?  does your butt hurt or something?

Answer 7

Sounds like it hasn't complicated your life. Leave it in the past. Opening a can of worms could cause more problems than do good.

If you think you need to tell someone, seek professional help or consult a clergyman.

Answer 8

No I wouldnt say anything. Do some research first and gather your facts. Im In the same situation, but It was my Granfather, though I dont remember. I just have fauge flashes of certain things.

Answer 9

Get over it.  Live your own life the best you can.

Studies have shown most cases like yours are actually fabrications, sometimes even a therapist will cause the "memories" to be created just by searching for them.

Answer 10

tell ur mom and get a therapist

Answer 11

How old are you now? I've had this same feeling too, but can not remember it. I'm  not sure what to do? I asked my mom but she said no of course, and doesn't remember. I guess, just not do anything. What else is there to do, ask your dad? No way. Good luck. Becky

Answer 12

If you do not know if you were sexually abused as a child, no you have nothing to report.

Answer 13

Please be careful not to accuse anyone of such a terrible offense if you are not very positive it really happened. many people have been accused of similiar things who were not guilty, and it ruined their lives.

Answer 14

i think u should tell someone about what happened to u. but before u do that u should be positive of symptoms.

Answer 15

Well make you better be sure of it before you go and accuse someone of something like that without it actually being true.

But if you know you were seek help and talk to your mom or a close older person. And then they can help you more.

Answer 16

if you don't know or remember being abused  then you have no case

Answer 17

If you can't remember then how will you prove it?And it was so long ago I don't think it will do any good.

Answer 18

Way to go, CLEO. I reported mac and he's now gone.

Young lady, evidently you have something that is trying to trigger some childhood memories.  You are probably not going to have much success until you can uncover those memories. You definitely need to talk to someone..because if what you're sensing is true, then the low life responsible should be held accountable.  Not knowing your age, if you're a student, start by talking to your mother and then to your school counselor and have them help you find a REPUTABLE therapist that can help you remember, maybe through hypnosis, or something, to see if what you're sensing is for real. Based on the results, act accordingly. If it can be truly determined that it IS true, don't stop

until you get justice and he gets his.
