Don't know where to turn

I'm going through something that isn't right. Everytime my boyfriend touches me I have some sort of flashback. I know it's not his fault...the flashbacks are from the last guy I dated...who held me down and made me molest a little girl. I hate it that I wasn't strong enough to overpower that SOB and prevent another molestation in my life. My boyfriend touches me a lot in a sexual manner and it really messes with my head. I don't want to tell him how his touching me is affecting me. I really don't know what to do. Please help me.

Lexicon,
I'm not sure what to say other than we are here for you. I'm not sure what help I can give other than to talk to someone who understands your issues. You deserve some help and support. You are in my thoughts.

I use to have a similar problem. I was really sensitive to them touching or getting near my neck. I eventually got over it, and I hope you do to. I told my boyfriends that it really upset me when they got near my neck. All of them asked why but most of them I just told them I didn't want to talk about it. They respected my space. You should consider talking to him about it. Don't ever feel pressured to tell him what has previously happened to you, but you should consider telling him that you really need him to back off.

I started feeling very uncomfortable again...I told him to stop but he thought I was joking. I told him sternly I was gonna hit him and he backed off then. I know that's not the best way to go about it, but I didn't know what else to do. I feel terrible that I have to tell him to stop touching me...it shouldn't have to be this way.
