I am interested in knowing if anyone has felt that they have been sexually abused by their parent/parents as a child and doesn't remember the abuse. I have some vague memories of the abuse...but I'm not sure if the memories constitute abuse. One of my therapist tells me that it is totally unnatural for a daughter to want to have sex with their father to gain some type of acceptance. My therapist tells me that I must of had a very very traumatic experience because I've blocked out the memories. I have had all signs that suggest abuse (i.e., wearing clothes too big as a teenager, /I even dressed my daughter in large clothes until I realized what may be the cause for this/ dating older men several years older, feeling as though most of my life has been lived through a foggy haze, major depression...) etc. Just wondering. Thanks.

Focus on the present and the future.....develop hobbies and a circle of friends, get exercise every day.

What happened in the past is gone, specially when you can't remember any incidents just to please a so-so therapist.

I think you should go to a psychiatrist and get a professional opinion about what is going on in your therapy.

it is obvious you have a couselor that you are working with, follow though with what they are wanting, some may want you to move on with your life and others will want you to try and remember and then work though those feelings. Some use hypnosis for this but then if you can end up with thoughs confused with real memories.
