I was sexually abused by a past boyfriend and just now came to terms that it actually happened nearly a year later. How do I deal with this? How do I keep it from affecting my current relationship?

Best is to talk to someone about what happend. That can be with a familiemember or friend. And if that's not possible go to your doctor or a professional who can help you.

Hi! I hope you are doing well. I am really sorry to hear that you had to experience this. I am really happy though that you have come to terms with it! No matter how long it takes, you will be okay! To keep it from affecting your current relationship, I think communication is key! Make sure you take everything slow and don't do anything you are uncomfortable with. In regards to dealing with this, make sure you have a great support network! Lean on family and friends and even a therapist, if you are able to. You don't have to struggle with this alone and we are all here for you!
