writes:i was physically and emotionally abused as a child by my biological father until the age of seven although it was more emotional than physical. up until this past year i had no recollection at all about my childhood until age 8. i have always been afraid of trusting men and have always had a problem with getting changed in front of other people.this has been a problem when it comes to dating and relationships. i have only been with two guys and they are both friends of mine and know about what i have been dealing with. i have slowly started remembering things about the past and have been having nightmares. one of the nightmares that i have been having is that i was sexually abused by my biological father although i don't remember if it actually happened or if its just my imagination. i can't ask my mom because she worked nights- i would be at home with my biological father while she was at work. i have started seeing a therapist because i have been depressed and having anxiety attacks- i had also been doing some self-mutilation. my aunt recently asked me if my biological father had ever touched me inappropriately when i was a child. i told her that i didn't think so but i wasn't sure- i didn't tell her about the nightmares that i have been having. can someone please help me? is there a way to know for sure if i was sexually abused or not? and if i was how can i overcome it so it won't affect any relationships i have in the future?

 You should go to a psychiatrist and tell him your emotions and talk about your feelings maybe under therapy you should be able to get the answers you are looking for. I wish you all the best and its really important you seek professional help ASAP.
