Battling with reality
I only recently began to get flashbacks of incidents with my sister’s husband. I believe I was groomed by him and taken advantage of. It’s hard for me to come to terms with it because I can’t tell what was real and what wasn’t, Im scared because I cant remember the incidents with detail. I feel like it’s my fault and that I could’ve done something to stop it but it happened when I was going through an abusive father-daughter relationship, unstable living conditions, and also grieving the loss of my mother… I was vulnerable and was told i was “mature for my age” so I believed everything he said and did and even after saying no he would say “its normal, we’re family”. I was 16 and he was 30 and this went on until i recently moved away. I feel at battle with my own reality but I cant stop thinking about it and I’m legitimately freaked out. I dont know how to ask for help or who to talk to about it which is why I am here. I’m scared and I don’t know why

thank you for reaching out through the forums, it takes alot of courage to share something like this. Its not your fault. You were taken advantage of, and thats never your fault.
Not remember every detail about a traumatic event is completely normal and understandable!
