Normal to be unsure whether or not it happened?

I have what I think are memories of when I was 8 or 9 my cousin who's 4 years older than me asked if I would let him touch me because the person he liked rejected him. It's weird because some part of me is so sure that it happened but another part thinks that it's not real and my mind made it up for whatever reason. I get really upset and panic if I think too hard about it but it's been bothering me a-lot around this time. It's so disgusting what I let him do to me without fighting against him if it really happened. And if it did it's already been about 10 years since than so what's the point in dredging it up now. I hate that it keeps popping back into my head when I'm not busy enough. Would bringing this up to a therapist or whatever even help? :what:

Discussing this with a therapist would probably be pretty beneficial, he/she might be able to delve deeper into your psyche to possibly determine whether or not it all happened in your mind or not. It is definitely a topic that should not remain unchecked however don't forget you'll have to have solid proof beyond reasonable doubt before you accuse your cousin of anything.

I'm sure it would, and how you feel is completely normal, I had a gap in my memory of anything before the age of 8 when as I got older sent my memory running riot as to what was so awful I couldn't remember anything at all, in the end it turned out my father was violent towards my mother, and that's what I couldn't remember but my head was creating rape situations and all sorts, but anyway, it would more than likely be possible to unlock these memories through the help of a psychiatrist in order to help you discover the truth behind your past, I know it can be horribly frustrating to be uncertain so the best thing to do would be to see someone about this :hug3:

you should talk to a therapist or trusted friend, could help you a lot.

Yes this is normal for traumatic events. You should try a therapist for it. You must be very certain it happened before getting law involved. My personal opinion is it probably did happen as your story is quite comon. But i dont have enough info to make a good decision on that as im not in your head to see.

Talk to a good therapist and they should be able to help you sort it out. Sounds like your brain was blocking things out. there is always a reason for that happening.
