Is it normal to be scared of trusting any guy after being molested?
I'm 18 now but when I was 10 my mother's boyfriend sexually molested me and told me that if I said anything to anyone he would hurt my mother or one of my three little siblings, so scared of their safety I stayed quiet and then at the age of 12 I had had enough and worked up the courage to tell my mother while he was asleep on the sofa, she then took me to the police, I told them the same thing I told my mother, they then told us to stay away from the house while they went to arrest him. After that I have had tried counseling but to my dismay my mother wasn't thinking and got me a male counselor, since then I have found it difficult to talk to/trust any male unless I knew them really well before the experience (like family and family friends that are males), what I would like to know is it all in my head and should I try to do counseling again but with a female counselor to help me work through the emotions that have bottled up since then and to help me be released from an endless cycle of avoiding any males in my classes and this in fact makes me upset since its my grad year of high school.
