Will waiting effect me worse in the long run?


Question:
I'm obviously a chick and I was sexually molested when I was like 5ish by a girl who was 10+, my parents don't know about it, the only one who knows is my cousin. Now I have dating issues, I was going to wait till I'm 25 to go to counsiling so my parents won't find out...Is that too long of a wait?

Answers:
Your molestation should simply be forgotten. Move on. You are not 5 now, you are 18. What happened then has absolutely no bearing on who you are now unless you want to make it an issue. Do not let that incident obsess you to the point of thinking you are damaged. You are not. How can this be done? --by simply forgiving that girl, and by realizing that she did not mean to hurt you, but could not control her own desires. It happens every day, and has happened since the dawn of mankind. Forgive, and forget. Only in this way will you move foreword. If you take this advise, you will save thousands of dollars by not going to a therapist, who in essence, will take your money, to tell you the same thing. Good luck!
honestly i think you should talk 2 your parents.
It is a very hard thing to talk about and that is an understatement but really the sooner you get help the better things will be. I am terribly sorry that happened to you. You were only a child. Your parents will stand beside you and support you. You did nothing wrong. I wish you the best~
get help
depends how old you are now I guess.
But your obviously worried about it, the best thing would be to talk to your doc and get refered to a councellor or something.
your Doctor is not legally allowed to divulge information you give him to anyone without your consent, unless it is a direct threat to your health.
But to wait to probably not the best idea as it could affect you greatly between now and then, making it even harder to overcome it.
