I am now 42 but I am always afraid to make a decision because something bad will happen if I make the wrong one. Also if someone asks me to do something, even if I do not want to, I do, because I think something bad will happen if I do not. I know why but I am seeking advise on how to change it. I was molested by an uncle from age 4 to 12 and how he manipulated me was with animals. Ex: if I did not do what he would say he would torture or kill something I loved, and he would tell me it was my fault. Because of my decision something was hurt...imagine the guilt I felt for the animal. It really still affects me today in everyday matters and ppl get upset with me, because I cannot make a decision even on the littlest issue. Ex: yesterday my b/f asked me to go get something at a store, I really did not feel like going, but I went because I feel that if I do not do what is asked of me something terrible will happen.
