How does one deal with molestation?

Enigmatic,

Trust your feelings. You know what you have been through and what you are feeling now. What you describe is a lot like what I have felt. The emotions almost always come to you before you confront the facts of the memories. The emotions are part of your memory and you probably suppressed a lot of those emotions until now.

You can be safe now. Keep reaching out for help and keep believing in yourself. Only by doing that can you comfort your inner child and bring the peace you deserve to yourself.

You are being very courageous. I am proud of you.

If you intend to survive the crime of molestation and live the future in peace with yourself you might reconsider what your responsibility is to someone else besides yourself. Protecting the person who complicated your young life is an unbelieveable act of selfishness. I can't believe you want others to suffer the same fate? Just-in-case you don't know...people who molest never stop molesting. Also, when molested children grow in silence, eventually other problems begin to arrive, seemingly, out of nowhere. Flashbacks start to haunt and shade what otherwise should be very happy life occasions for you. Do not walk-run to your most trusted person and ask them to come with you to your parents, minister or authorities. Have the courage to trust those in charge to take steps to remove this person to a place where he cannot hurt another. At the moment you are a victim of a serious crime. This crime needs to be reported. Consider how you would feel if he esculates his crime (s) and decides to kill the next victim.

Enigmatic,
Hang in there! My thoughts are with you.

Take care
