Thank you for responding!
While the "Survivors of Abuse" title seemed a little imposing, the "Sexual and Gender Issues" title felt uncomfortable(?) in a different way. Due to the nature of the situation, in a way... I guess I really don't want to associate anything like my sexuality with that of a creepy strangers (or my fathers) sexuality. Particularily in the latter case, you especially don't want to associate their sexuality to yourself at all.
To the point of wanting to think pretty much anything else happened but that.
I'm not really certain anything happened at all. But at the same time I realize that I desperately want to belive I'm wrong - because I wouldn't know what to do if it really happened either way.
Heck, at this very moment I can sorta remember memories that "prove" it happened, but at the very same time my mind wants to cling to explanations and excuses. He's my father! He wouldn't do this to me! I must be seeing things because of those strangers before.
Because my mind always wants to think conveniently about this, I figured I could have some use of talking about it someplace. People I can tell this to irl aren't many. I've told one friend everything, and I've told my mother some of what happened. I haven't been able to bring myself to tell her too many details though, as it was simply too difficult for me. (I feared that she'd freak out and totally distance me from my father - When thinking about it, I really doubt that she'd do that. But somehow that fear/discomfort was there anyway.)
Once I find time to sit down and dump the whole story into a thread, I'll do it in this forum! c:

... For the sake of specifying, what ages do "child" refer to in that setence?
