When I was 11 , I was placed in foster care . I was molested by the the man a few times a week when his wife was gone on errands (usually in the evenings) for a span over 1 1/2 yrs. . During that time , I was seeing a psychologist about 1 time a month. I told him about what was going on with that man and me and if he ever told anyone , I would stop seeing him and he never told anyone. We would discuss the situation each time I saw him . He would ask me if I was ready to tell anyone about what was going on , that what this man was doing with me was wrong , that it wasn't my fault, etc. The sexual acts consisted of him taking my hand and putting it on his penis or putting his penis in my mouth. I have thought of this over the years and I think I'm still affected by this abuse .

@jonibentley,
First off, I am really sorry this happened to you.

It's time to go to a different counselor and work through this trauma. You can do it.

@jonibentley,
I am very sorry what happened to you. There are good support groups for survivors of sexual abuse. I strongly recommend you get in touch with a group that will support you, listen to you and have access to resources to help with healing. Please take care of yourself.

For what it is worth, the psychologist you saw acted unprofessionally. In most states he or she would have been legally obligated to report the abuse. You were 11, and I am sure you didn't want anyone to step in. But you were a child... as an adult he should have acted whether you wanted him to or not.

The most important thing now is for you to heal. Find a good therapist (they are worth everything) who specialized in adult survivors of sexual abuse. Find a group of people who are positive and supportive. It takes a while to process what was done to you. It does get easier.
