Is it possible not to remmember being raped, but feel like you have been?( i hope that makes sense)

Question

I've been molested several times by different family members, on both my mothers and fathers side of the family but i was always to scared to tell, for fear of ruining the family( i know it sounds crazy) But, I've always felt in my heart that its gone further than just molestation. For some reason i just cant remember all the details and its something that has always bothered me.

Answer 1

i understand how hard this maybe for you!

but no one can even begin to imagine how bad it is!

i respect howmuch of a stong person u are to talk about it like this!

but i think you should tell ur family!

you wouldnt want that on any of ur kids in the future would u?

and ur parents and fmily would feel the same way!

hopefully u havent been hurt more than u remember! but u still should talk about it

all my respects to you!

goodluck1

Answer 2

Im not sure...maybe

Answer 3

yes...that is VERY possible...

often when this kind of thing happens to someone...they block it out of their memories...

you may not remember for your whole life...and then one day, 20 years later...it'll come to you and you'll remember every detail...

if i were you though..

i would go to the doctor..

they'll be able to tell you...(unless your sexually active now..)

but they'll also be able to tell you if it affects your ability to have children, etc..

also...counceling can help revive lost memories...

i'm sorry that happend to you..but good luck with the rest of your life...i hope you find out what really happend...

Answer 4

that's horrible .yes it possible your mind blocks things like that to some how protect you .you should hint that you have been raped to some one in your family like a trustful cousin.you wouldn't be the person who would ruin the family they where the ones who did it.it's not your fault

Answer 5

Girl, you need help and u need to report these sick ppl.

Answer 6

you need to tell someone about them, that is sickening

who cares if you ruin the family, they are already messed up to begin with

you probably dont remember anything because you dont want to

but you need to tell someone about this and get the f u ** ck outta there.

Answer 7

u will always remember it because it sounds like the worst thing ever happened to you try to remember the best times it might help

Answer 8

It sounds like you are repressing memories. I was molested also and A lot of what happened to me didn't come back until I was older. Also, you really need to tell someone about whats going on because what they are doing is just plain wrong and will affect you later on.

Answer 9

Yes it is and does occur in instances of abuse and molestation.

Human brains can and will block memories from recollection if the body feels that they are harmful and disruptive to the body. It is still not fully understood mind.

If you feel it has happened, then it very well may have. At this point it is impossible to guarantee that these feelings are in fact from past experiences and not only false recollections, since our brains can be made to believe things have happened that have never occurred. Try to find the truth.

Answer 10

It is possible. Sometimes, when the mind encounters something tragic, it will erase it.

A good example of this is on the first season of 24, where the woman watches her daughter get killed (or at least she thinks she does), then passes out and when she wakes up she has no recollection of who she is.

Stuff like that happens in real life often, more often than we would like to admit. It is terrible that you've gotten molested, and it's terrible that it may have gone further than that. I think you need to tell your parents, though. My mother was molested by an uncle when she was younger, and she never told anyone and regrets it every day of her life.
