Am I Crazy or did it really happen?

Hello, not too long ago a therapist helped me realize that my father has behaved inappropriately towards me in the past. My father used to take pictures of me, and tell me to pose "sexy" and I hated it. I was still fully clothed but I hated it nonetheless. We used to play tag while naked or he'd touch my thigh or kiss my neck. This occured from a very young age until I began puberty, in which he stopped paying attention to me altogether. I always used to feel these random waves of disgust, in the most random of times, like I was the most disgusting thing in the world. I held that in until I finally told my recently therapist but I'm kind of afraid that I am maybe exaggerating or blowing everything out of proportion because I don't remember much but I still live with my father and he's the only one who can provide for me. I want to confront him but I'm beyond terrified. What do I do? Am I making this up or not?

@angelswillreturn Most likely, you are not making this up, and such terrible things really happened to you. If your therapist also tells you about it, it is a sign. And probably your father is not the most adequate and normal person on earth, but you should not talk to him about it. To be honest, it will not do any good, it will only make the situation worse. Is it terrible? Yes. Is it rare? Alas, no, and not always people who have children are good by definition. Just hold on and try to get out of this situation as healthy as possible, so as not to create tension and minimize contacts with this person. Hold on!
