Have you ever suspected you were assaulted as a child but don’t remember and what signs made you suspect it?

Yes.

I think something happened because I was hypersexual before I even should have known about sex. I did things with other kids I didn’t know were bad. I knew what porn was and watched it, and I don’t remember how I knew. It is so difficult for me to enjoy sex now as an adult. I just can’t get into it and it feels a little bit like a violation.

I’m super uncomfortable around my dad for a lot of unrelated reasons. But he’s also a creep. He used to work at a law firm but got fired and had to settle out of court for harassing a woman. He has sexualized me in front of his friends when I was in middle school. One time in an argument he threatened to put something in my mouth if I didn’t shut up.

I hated him as a child. Really hated being around him, having to hug him, anything. I felt really scared of him and I had recurring dreams where he’d be standing over my bed and I would scream and I would get that thing where it feels like you’re falling and wake up. I still get those sometimes.

I don’t know if anything happened but sometimes it feels like it did.
