Actually it's very common for someone who was a victim of sa at a young age to be victimized later as well... I'm sure there are lots of reasons but for me I have a tendency to "freeze" in certain situations so I could see myself so triggered with PTSD issues that I wouldn't stand up for myself very well... Also you learn that people won't believe you and you think bad boundaries are normal,etc.
Others could probably describe this better. But irregardless you are not responsible for someone else's bad behavior ever!
