When I was a child I was sexually abused by a friend of the family. My problem is, my most clear memory of it is anything but. I remember everything very distinctly, EXCEPT for my body. Its almost like my body wasn't there. I could tell you what was happening on the TV and out the front window and I could tell you about the bird that would land on the tree outside, but as for what was happening to my body? It was like it wasn't attached to my head. Because of this I have a hard time talking about the abuse because when I try to all I can say is that I don't remember. Not remembering it 'right' or 'correctly' makes me feel like I'm insane. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
