As far as the second question goes, I have such a strong tendency to minimize. I don't know how to tell what is right and what is wrong in this situation. I struggle trying to figure this out. I feel like I am right, but the more I read about CSA, the more I think that my perceptions are distorted.
Your second paragraph i could take verbatim- I am the same way

I guess it's true that sometimes CSA survivors have a hard time validating their experience.
