When I was about 7-8 my 17 year old female cousin used to beat me up..like punch me and stuff..then open the window and threaten to throw me out and i really thought she would do it cuz she was crazy! also sometimes her 17-18 year old (maybe even older!) boyfriend would hold my arms while she beat me up (not playfully) i would be crying hysterically..this went on about 2 times a week for about a year (im 19 now) ...I flinch whenever anyone makes quick movements and I wont stand near an open window if someone else is around..could that be because of that?

how sad!!! oh my goodness, i hate when people abuse children like that, it really does something to me!anyways, i definately think that, that has something to do with it!!! thats super messed up! wheres she at now? go tell her stupid a s s what she did to you, and how if affected you.
she is lucky that i wasn't the abused cousin, i would literally walk up to her and knock her out for it.... good luck =]

Sounds like it is related. Have you ever told anyone? Have you thought about confronting her? What you should do, to help you overcome this phobia caused by trauma, is defy your fear; stand next to that window! And after you see a few times that no one is out to harm you, your phobia will no longer control you, it will disappear slowly but surely. Do not allow this crazy cousin to continue to affect your life. Take back that power, and be okay, that's the best revenge.

Yes it could definitely be because of that. You need to speak with a counselor as soon as you can.
Good Luck ;-)

yes i think it definitly can affect you and if you dont do anything about it it could affect you in worse ways maybe you should think about seeing a proffessional about just so your feelings and emotional state regarding that time in your life doesnt get worse
