Why doesnt being sexual abused affect me??

Everyone that goes through something like that deals with it in their own way. Just because you were sxually absed doesnt mean that it has to ruin your life. As long as you have come to terms with the fact that it was not your fault and its over and in the past now its normal to begin to move on with your life. If you havent though, you need to speak to a counselor, while it may not seem to have any affects now that doesnt mean it wont in the future. I was r*ped years ago, and while i havent let it affect my life and ive moved past it..there are things that trigger those emotions and anger and pain at times. Thats why you need to speak with someone who can counsel you through it.

There is no right way to be affected by something. You’re asking this question. You’re saying you get angry and you get sad. So it did have an effect. Things tend to affect us. Good things and bad. Dont fool yourself into thinking there was no effect. But it doesnt mean that there have to be noticeable problems. Some people learn lessons and grow from bad experiences. It doesnt mean they werent affected. Some people take longer to heal than others. Some people heal quickly. Sometimes wounds show up much later. Some times some people have this amazing resistance to adversity. None of it is right or wrong. Right now, you’re ok. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Nothing is wrong with you at all. If things come up in the future, then you talk to someone. If they dont, then you dont.
