((((Dreamy01))) please read the courage to heal. It lists what constitutes sa. There are tons of things that happened to me that were abuse i didnt think were. Also, i had a lot of repressed memories. My sister was in therapy and i told her, " i'm glad i wasnt abused." Her jaw dropped. She handed me the book and said read this page. I said, "oh." Then my life changed. I realized i was. And another thing i learned is abuse is abuse and the effects are DEVASTATING. You cant measure abuse and say person A is in more pain than person B because they were covered in bruises etc. It just doesnt work that way. As it turns out both person Aand person B are in horrific pain if they were abused. That's what abuse does. Especially SA. And with SA of course comes the others like emotional abuse
etc that naturally follow. Be gentle with yourself. Dont listen to people that dont know what they are talking about.
