**May Trigger** I can see why you didn't classify it as sexual abuse. But I'm sure that was a really freaky experience, though! I didn't know how to classify what happened with my uncle either. But it was pretty creepy. I think the fact that I saw him naked waist down AND that he talked all that sexual stuff, plus that he was my uncle, contributed to it. Plus the reactions my grandparents and aunt had when I told what happened were not very supportive.

But what I was trying to get at in sharing all this was just that it's possible that other things have happened, and that I have been sexually abused, because I'm showing lots of signs of it, but that these incidents are mostly the only things that I do remember- and not enough to cause the amount of problems that I have with sex. As far as I know, I have not be sexually abused, but the possibility that I have cannot be ruled out. And from what you've shared, it sounds like it's a possibility for you, too, even though you don't have any memories of abuse right now.

Am I making any sense? Is this helping at all?
