Lello wants to ask this question, so I am going to post it for her. (if you do not know, we have DID, and Lello is one of our young alters) It makes us very nervous to ask about this, but I am happy to see Lello wanting to reach out, so I want to honor her request.

**I am going to put this very generally, but it could be triggering for some**

She wants to know if anyone else is female who experienced CSA from another female. We have rarely seen this talked about. You do not need to share any more than you wish to, you could just respond yes, and I think that would help her to not feel so "monstery". Anyone willing to respond who does not wish to post here is welcome to pm us.

Thank you very much. ~ Emma & Lello

Emma and Lello, I'm glad that you are reaching out. Looks like no one yet has had this experience yet. Just wanted to reply so that I could give you some support. Hopefully someone soon will come along who also had this experience.

I have experienced this- difficult to find much information on the web or in print. This is one good link: http://www.canadiancrc.com/Female_Se...awareness.aspx Technical information at the beginning with links to many news articles.

Get a good T if you don't already have one, and be gentle with yourself. I believe there are others out there, just isn't documented much.

I agree it adds to the shame and difficulty not hearing much about it- thanks for asking, you are very brave!

Emma & Lello, you're so brave for reaching out .

i haven't had this experience personally myself, but i do visit another forum which is geared specifically for people who have experienced sexual assault.

i know there are a few threads there about people who were hurt by women, but i haven't read them so i don't know if it was specifically CSA. if you want i can post the link here, but sometimes i find that forum triggering because it is very heavy to talk about that sort of thing, especially when so many people are sharing their experiences in such detail. very validating, but not something i can do unless i'm feeling strong.

Thank you very much Sannah, REEG, and deilquense! I appreciate your support very much. It makes such a huge difference. REEG, thank you for the link, we found it very helpful. We are very sad that you have experienced this as well. We really appreciate your strength in being able to share. deliquense, if you would not mind posting the link, I would appreciate it. We will use caution in what we read, and will not visit at all if we are not feeling strong.
I wish you all much strength and healing. We will be keeping you in our thoughts.

hi gretta, this is the link to that forum: http://pandys.org/forums/index.php?&&CODE=00

if you scroll down & go into "types of assault" or something, you will find a lot of threads about different experiences. i used 'deliquesce' over there too, so if you need a friendly face around then feel free to send me a pm there.

Yes. I experienced CSA from an older female child - I was only 2 1/2 and she was 11yrs old. It was something that happened from her for many years off and on (she was our next door neighbor). I also have a DX of DID. Sending you tons of hugs! You are not alone.

deliquesce, thank you so much for the link! When we are having a strong day, we will have a look around there.

WePow, thank you so much for your post. It means a lot to us. We are so sorry for your experience, and we appreciate you having the strength to share it with us.
