Answers:
you most likely starting using due to low self esteem from his actions. you figured this happened to me so i will do this because of it. the drugs temporarily blocked the memories. Only making it worse when the high was gone.
the things that happend to you are terrible without question. But you must have some reasons left that make life worth living.1 being you still have your life to live. there are many that dont even have that. A life to live that is.
you must understand that what happened was not your fault or caused by you in anyway. if your healthy?{not physicly damaged} you can still do normal things with normal people. you can still be a normal person just like everyone else.the memories will most llikely never go away. talk about them with those you allow to get close to you. it will help them to understand your feelings. or dont if it brings it back and makes you uncomfortable.your questions answer is yes. its all linked to what he did.but you dont have to carry it with you for the rest of your life. find i rock so to speak and stuff all of those memories under it. stand with your head up high and proud. take one step forward away from that rock. dont ever look back and just keep going. A life we have is always worth living. you seem like a smart person. get some professional help. check out more than one dr.
the person who decides your destiny is you. there are people that love you. dont let them or yourself down because of another persons actions . however horrible they may have been.we only have this one life to live. we may as well be as happy as we can be while living it.
E
good luck

I doubt it unless thats what you are thinking about before you get high.
