Thank you for sharing and I am sorry that I didn't see this sooner. I don't come on voat a lot but I think that may change.. Anyways, I just want to thank you for your courage in coming forward about what happened to you. Having blocks in your memory is totally normal - I do too. Its the brains way of dealing with and processing the trauma that you have experienced. As time goes by, you may begin to remember more and be able to piece things together. This is probably the time when you need a lot of support from those around you. I'm glad to see that you're in therapy. Do you feel comfortable with your therapist? I know sometimes people go to therapy just because they feel they need to but they don't like their therapist. If that is you, I would really recommend you finding someone you feel more comfortable with. What you say about being prone to more abuse after being abused is exactly how I felt. I always felt like I had a flashing sign above my head saying "welcome to be abused". Pedophiles can see those that have been abused just as, often, survivors can recognise children that are being abused. But it wasn't your fault. Nothing that you experienced was your fault. Please remember that
