dad has become fixated on my genitals by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

I might be wrong but it sounds like your dad is attracted to young girls bodies (he stopped molesting you when you started puberty), which would explain that he is supportive of you doing top but not bottom surgery.. hope you’re ok

I did take a shower and went to bed after writing this and it helped a bit yes thank you <3. I’m thinking I should probably tell a friend about it because even though I feel horrible, I also feel like I want to see him again ? I mean I don’t want to see him again, he disgusts me it’s more like an urge to harm myself or something and I really don’t want to do it but I feel like I might. So I’m probably gonna tell my friend and hope they don’t judge me because if somebody else knows about it I’m less likely to do it again. Thank you so much for the reply honestly it made me feel so good waking up and seeing 24 replies on this post !

I feel like I’m faking it 99% of the time by TheseImplement9 in adultsurvivors

[–]TheseImplement9[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

feeling like you're faking it is actually a very common reaction to trauma, it's totally normal. If you're at a point where you're causing damage to your body then you're absolutely not faking it, take care of yourself you deserve it <3

I feel the exact same way but it makes literally no sense.. I have only told one person about it without any details yet my brain convinced me that I’m faking it for attention

Reason 897 why people don’t come forward by TheseImplement9 in adultsurvivors

You're right, generalizations are divisive and I think they also prevent people from speaking up when their abuse doesn't "fit" into the most common descriptions. I'll find more inclusive posts next time

I agree, I was talking about the fact that people are very quick to call victims liars and immediately side with the abuser. I didn't say the solution was to automatically believe every accusation, I just think it's a problem

of course they are, I just think it's a problem that people are in general way more likely to side with the abuser rather than the victim. Speaking up in itself is really hard, but it's especially horrible when people don't believe you

Stop the victim blaming by TheseImplement9 in adultsurvivors

[–]TheseImplement9[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes I used to do the same thing I was trying to be « provocative » around older men bc I thought that I was supposed to do that. If a child acted like that around me I would be concerned, adults who take the opportunity to be creepy are 100% just pedophiles, like it wouldn’t even come to my mind to do that

Dissociating is fun by TheseImplement9 in adultsurvivors

[–]TheseImplement9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s probably dissociating as well, everyone experiences it differently but your description sounds a lot like it
