Sexual Harassment.. how would this affect me or my relationships?

Question

I was sexually harassed repeatedly by an 'Uncle' when i was younger.. i never received therapy or consultation..

would this necessarily have an effect on me now or later?
and if so, how would this effect be expressed??

If my sexual relationships are healthy, does this mean that am over it already??

and if i have became a nympho, could that be the result of the harrassment??

Answer 1

Whatever happened to you in your past, affects your present time and will go on affecting you in your future life.

If you realize that people in their life will be harassed in different ways, not just sexually, then you may even think of that as just one of the things that came to you so you might learn something more of life.

Sexual harassement is the least harassment we may get in life, because we are more protected sexually than in other ways, because we are more morally sexually protected than we are protected in other ways.

If we struggle for a better health, our relationships may become more healthy, and whatever we become is oftenmost something we choose to become.

Life is never easy, so we may have to adopt strategies for our own healthy survival and for the healthy survival of those people that are dear to us. The bad experiences of our life may help us to become more fiercy and more mature - so mature that we, thru our own surplus of maturity, may even give precious help to those in our life that are not yet so good at helping themselves.

that very well could be a possibility. not everyone that gets harassed needs counciling. it is just offered and welcomed to the aftermath of the person and the affect that they might have. that is awful that had happened to you a while back. i hope you feel the same way that i do wishing that he would be in jail. i know that you may have been close to him... because he was some sort of an uncle, but he is not a good person and his mind must not be very stable if he would have done something like that. it is not a proven fact that you will have troubles on your relationships in the future.. it just might be thrown out there because most people are scarred. if you have become a nympho, then that means that you like that stuff. i hope i helped! =)

Each individual reacts differently to sexual assault or sexual harassment, however most women and men who have been sexually harassed do not always get involved in normal relationships. (No they don't become lesbian or gay, that's not who usually sexually assaults someone . Most of the time child predators are heterosexuals.)

Many people who have been seuxally assaulted find people who are abusive in other ways, women especially gain alot of weight to ' protect' themselves. Many people shy away from close committed relaitonships because the predator made them feel guilty like they wanted it , when no one who is sexually assaulted brought it on themselves.

There will be a time , that your sexual assault may come back and change your life radically, it might not be now or ten years from now , it might be when you have children of your own.

However don't be shocked when it happens.

And if your' uncle' is still alive you can still prosecute him if you wish to.

No it doesn't have to necessarily affect your life if you learned to manage that situation properly. That nympho thing yeah It can be the result of that. Anyway I think you need to see someone about this, because if you are asking this question is because you are not still over that traumatic situation.

Answer 5

Ultimely you have to learn how to let go of your past. Dont let it dictate you future. Its hard- but thats what being mentally strong is all about. God cant give you anything you cant handle.

I was molested by a female teenager when I was in 2nd grade. I thought I was mentally strong, but I look back on my life and alot of the decisions I made were because of self insecurites I had from that incident. Once I accepted that it happened to me and that God couldnt give me anything that I cant handle I was able to move on. It was hard though.....

Answer 6

each person deals with their inner demons in an individual manner. how you deal with what hap pend to you is your business. i should hope that if you feel you need therapy you will seek it. if you are able to deal with it on your own, even better i personally believe. it's not uncommon to have a healthy sexual appetite despite being abused or even raped. the act itself is an act of violence, not sex anyway.....the two don't go hand in hand.

Answer 7

yes to all of the above....if u never got councelingthen its likely you are notover it and u may never get "over it" but should be able toput it behind you with some counceling.....good luck
