Like everyone else... being assaulted is more than enough to be causing trauma on its own.
What your childhood was like could be totally irrelevant in regards to your reactions to the assault. I would have felt really invalidated if someone told me what your T told you!
No matter what your childhood was like, you would be bothered by being assaulted!
On the other hand, depending on your past an assault could trigger a lot of the feelings that have been kicking around throughout your life. That's totally possible too.
