Do i like other girls because i was sexually abused by my mother?

I want to start off by saying that I'm not looking for a pity party or anything, I just want to know if anyone else thinks me being sexually abused by my mother was the cause of me being interested in other girls. My mother and father divorced when I was 10 years old and I know it hurt my mom a lot. She distanced herself away from almost all of her friends and avoided any future relationships with anyone. Since I am an only child, I was closer to her than anyone else. When I was 14, she started sexually abusing me. She never hurt me or physically forced me to do anything, but rather guilted me into doing things. She touched and kissed me and made me do it back. She even took it as far as having sex with me a few times. This went on until I moved out when I was 18. I now live on my own but have developed a heavy attraction to other women. Does anyone think the two are linked? I would have figured it would have had the opposite effect. IIN?
