I’ve been struggling with a conversation I had recently regarding being SA as a kid with my aunt but being someone who downplays what I’ve been through what I’m going through I can’t help but think about it, I can’t remember my aunt abusing me but I was reminded of a conversation about if she did abuse me in that way.. I’ve been “taken advantage” of before which I think was the R word because I was unconscious at the time I’m aware of and beat up by an ex who wanted to be intimate(different occasion) but there’s a pattern where I don’t talk about this abuse more specifically because I’m a M, and considering what I’ve seen the same women in my life go through. I just feel like my “abuse” doesn’t count because of my gender alone.. I guess I just want to know how I can acknowledge a repressed memory, as I’ve been doing therapy for a while now
