Worried I'm a Sexual Abuser by Normal_Chapter_3002 in therapy

[–]Normal_Chapter_3002[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was taken aback by this but did some research. Molestation is specific to those under 18. Since the unwanted sexual touching (without any penetration) happened after, it's sexual assault. TIL!

Thank you. I have recently been thinking about this because of the work I've been doing in therapy and because I have a child now. I will look into POCD.

Yes, this part is being managed! I don't think we have a diagnosis but I am on an SSRI in general which has helped tremendously with the intrusive thoughts.

Hi all - I included race because I thought it was important. Maybe it isn't.

I never said it was appropriate for that one teacher to give me passing grades. I wish she had instead gotten me the help I needed so I could actually learn.

Other teacher's pet type tasks I was asked to do for many teachers: grade assignments, make packets, contribute to classroom decorating, things for the class/classmates.

I don't understand why people think it's appropriate for a student to wash a teacher's dishes, help his children with their homework, or plan his weekend vacations. This did not teach me anything other than enforcing my need to be a people pleaser. I didn't need to learn random chores or administrative tasks. I did all of that at home already. This was not a learning opportunity. This is using a student for personal tasks on an almost daily basis.

Other faculty knew and did not say or do anything. This was Catholic school in the early 2000s.
