Hello @blanket,

Welcome to AS. I am so sorry for what you're uncle had done to you. He had no right to harm you in anyway. I can relate to stuff resurfacing and not know how to handle anything. I'm at that right now.  You will find that everyone here is friendly, supportive and there is no judgement at all. Your not alone here and many can relate.  Take your time to look around and best wishes on your healing journey.

Hi there and welcome. I'm so glad you found this site to talk about what happened. Remembering things years after they happened is really hard. Self doubt is unfortunately very common. I hope you find the support you are looking for
