Can molestation at an early age effect someone all their life?

Question

Even if they do not really remember what happend.

personally im not sure that i was. i don't remember it. but it would make sense if it did happen.

When i was little i slept in the same bed as my dad, My mom however slept on the couch. I know my father was molested by his father.

i don't remember him touching me but i do remember seeing inappropate things and it was before i was in kindergarten.

Answer 1

Absolutely. There have been case studies of children who were molested in infancy, with no recollection of the molestation, who were severely altered later in life (with recounts of the molestation from the molester).

Answer 2

Yes, it can I know from experience. My uncle molested me when I was 7 and I do remember but it doesn't matter if you know you were molested you feel violated! It is the worst crime I think, because it is just a child and they have to start off thinking the world is this horrible scary place and who is there to trust. But effects can vary but the most common for me is depression and I have a hard time trusting people and socializing. You can go to google and look at the effects but I think depression is the most common among the effects. Also it doesn't need to happen more than once for damage to be done. I think it must be difficult to not know if you were molested because justice can not be served. If your dad showed you inappropriate materials then he did molest you.

Some unusual happening with anyone definitely affects his/her mentality/ personality/ behaviour. Such things getting happen in early childhood affect the child behaviour like getting frightened, keeping away from the person,keeping mum or speaking very less, avoiding being social in the society or staying out of home for longer periods etc. Such a change in behaviour becomes habit which can not be changed after wards. Although one may forget the mis-hap but the scar on his/her little mind has already done the damage. Chances of completely reverting the damage are quite remote.

Answer 4

Sexual exploration in toddlers does no longer immediately away equate with the toddlers having been molested. The "playing wide-spread practitioner" or "tutor me" video games that childrens play are completely certainly and could be seen a classic area of adolescents boost. Now "wide" can advise many stuff as can "in simple terms exploration". "in simple terms exploration" can advise some thing from searching to steer manipulation. Even pretend coitus ought to come below "exploration". the position do toddlers study this stuff? turn on your television or your computer, even the lively video clips are finished of sexual innuendo and double entendre. Being molested as a baby does no longer advise that someone would have sexual dificulties as an individual. It relies upon on the guy, it relies upon on even if or not they have addressed the topic, it relies upon on how a lot molestation got here about. those who've the biggest issues tend to be those who went to a special individual for help and had their trust betrayed by that individual.

Answer 5

Absolutly
even though you do not remember the occation
Your body will recognize situations and bring memories back you never knew you had
people that were molested at early ages
usually grow up to be homosexual, molesters them self, or have some sort of mental problem

Answer 6

yes it can. it can effect the way they live everyday. it mostly has an effect with social interaction. the people that have been malested are more likeley to think people are angry at them when they are really not. they become more sensitive. sexual interaction can also become hurtful. like say a man/women touches them the wrong way, it could trigger a past occurence and something will go off in there head telling them that it is wrong.

when children are malested the best thing for them to do its tell someone immediatley so they can prolong any emotional damge.

Answer 7

Yes. It can effect you the rest of your life. You need to see a counselor I there is was a slight chance you were. I have a friend that was, & not until recently she got help. She has an eating disorder as well. It can effect you in m any ways for the rest of your life. Hope you can get some help.

Answer 8

HELLO how are you? I have dated two women in my life that were molested as children,both of them were molested by someone in there own family,both of them were in there early twenties,and yes it did affect them.THESE women told me that it affected them,I'm not saying it affects everyone the same way but in these two cases,they both told me it affected them in a way that they were both allot more open sexually,they looked to date older men,in one case one of the women became a cutter,in the other case,the woman was abusive to men in general,of course i don't blame her for that.I do believe it makes it hard for a person to have a healthy adult relationship,if they were molested as a child,unless they get help at an early age.

Answer 9

yes, it does not matter whether they remember it or not, being molested at an early age has sometimes devastating effects on people because when they hit adolescence their brain makes them re-enact the trauma they endured when they were young. it also affects relationships because the person cannot choose a good partner. it sometimes screws with your sexual identity as well. if this happened to you or a friend it is ESSENTIAL that you/they receive treatment for their abuse.

Answer 10

Depends. Can someone live all their life feeling fear or depression because of something that happened as a child? Yes.

When someone who has been molested then commits molestation on another when fully grown, should we release him because of mental problems? HELL NO.
