From what I understand, it is VERY normal for little kids who are SA to re-enact SA with other children.
You were an innocent child Deli. You were confused and manipulated and mis-led. Can you try to feel a little compassion for the little child who was taken advantage of? I have lots of compassion for you.....
What is a 'normal response' to such a thing?
You did the best you could....maybe you were trying to make sense of what happened to you....maybe you were acting out because you felt bad about yourself because of what someone did to you.
You said you 'asked for' the bits you could control. I think it is shows a strong desire to cope with a situation that was OUT of your control. You can't be faulted for using such a coping skill, when that is what you had been shown.
Be gentle with yourself, OK?
