(((geez))),

I am glad to hear you opened up a little. Always remember as you do that not to label these memories with any guilt. And also to know that when things happened in your past, you were not at the same maturity level you are at now. Your goal is to sort through anything that may have held you back and that you didn't get validated for your struggle. Your goal is to come away from this work with a stronger more secure sense of yourself.

I have mentioned before that for me, it was easier to discuss the topic and include myself as someone who did experience troubling things when I was at ages where I really had no way of having the capacity to deal with it all. And by doing that I learned not just how I reacted but also how most victims react to certain things they experience. We are only human and we CAN repair and be stronger in the now, inspite of our pasts.
