Is it normal i don’t feel affected my childhood molestation?
When I was in elementary school my dad touched me and my grandmothers partner use to sexually abuse me in middle school. I feel that I’m rather unaffected by the events as I don’t think about the events unless I force myself to or I hear about someone else’s story. When I do think about it I don’t feel a particular way. Like I don’t break out into tears I just acknowledge it and think about something else or reflect and move on. I will say that in other aspects of my life I might be affected. I haven’t really had a stable relationship because I’m insecure and socially awkward. Also, I’m distant from my family because I’m just not a family person. I don’t have much friends but I’ve always been shy and introverted. Besides my personal life I think I turned out “well” considering I read a lot of victims go through some really dark times in their adult life. I’m a honor roll student with a full ride to college and I have never done drugs or went to jail. I’m just not sure if my nonchalant approach to my sexual abuse is normal or not.
