TAN: Were you molested as a child by a family member?

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

If so, do you feel it lead to problems maintaining romantic relationships as an adult?

[James Ford]

I wasn't, but I know someone who was. And it led to a host of problems as an adult. How could it not?

I'm in the same boat as you.

im blocking out what happened to me when i was in elementary school.  i can remember some of it, and then the memory just suddenly stops as if the time around it did not exist.  i enjoy those blank halcyon cringes of what could have beens.  it makes me stronger and i realize it helps translate into incredible fictional characters.  chew on that for awhile.

oh wait, the topic said family member.  it was not, a family member.  gross.  it was . . . .

I am glad that someone like myself had the courage to make this thread which allowed you to open up about your deepest darkest feelings with the community. I really think what I did here today was brave, and I want you to know that.

When I was 15, I was seduced by the smoking hot 35 yr old mom next door and it affected me by making me think I walk on fuckin water.

there's no need to thank me. I just try to do what I can for our community. The word "hero" should not be thrown around willy-nilly.
