Hi
This is very difficult for me to write........ about five or six years ago, memories resurfaced about being sa'd by an uncle. But something didn't sit right with me about that. I always had my doubts. But I've been in therapy for these memories for years. Now, after making a report to the police, my Mom says he never had the opportunity to do what my "memory" says he did. So, was I abused or not? I don't know. I've had many, many invasive medical procedures and surgeries that may account for my thoughts, feelings and actions but does one consider a poorly explained, invasive procedure done on a child abuse? What happened to the last six years of things? I am clearly reacting to something..........some traumatic event that happened................but was/is it abuse? I don't know anymore................I'm so confused! Any insight or advice or opinions is welcomed. Toesquasher |

Wow. I don't know. I am always skeptical of recovered memories. What does your therapist say about this?

I didnt remember what happened to me until years later........ a long time. I went as far as to speak to the person who did it... and they told me that it was true. So yes, it is possible... but, only with time will you remember and honestly, sometimes you won't remember all of it... I think its cus our minds-psyche' don't want us too, as a way of protecting us--- and its for a reason but, does cause a lot of confusion in the process...so be patient with yourself. If it doesn't turn out to be your uncle it could have been someone else...so.... stay in tune with that gut feeling...

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
