I told her what was happening to me. She asked me to close my eyes and see if I could remember what happened. I think her calmness and reassurance and knowing I was not alone was all I needed to remember the rest of the assault. I was shaking and going through all the emotions expected of someone who had experienced these kinds of events. After about two weeks in therapy, I started to remember that an uncle had done some inappropriate things to me.
Memories seem to come out of nowhere and they came back in bits and pieces.
This is what I think made me feel crazy. I told my husband that I thought this uncle had done things to me. I was shocked at his response. I'm not surprized because he did that to your cousin too. He told me that my aunt had told him of her daughter's abuse by this uncle once when we were at their place visiting.
