• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi Im Renee, I just joined CF and Im so glad to see that you have this board!
I was molested by my Uncle from the age of 2 until I was about 17 when he moved out of state. I however didn't remember it until shortly after I was married to my first husband.
I have had all kinds of counseling for it. Its been a tough road and I know that it has affected my life.
My first husband left me because of the problems that I had with intamacy.
I have since remarried and my husband is very supportive.
I have fogiven my uncle, but I will be honest that I know I don't have a normal outlook on sex.
This is something that I pray about on a regular basis. I know when Im not doing well, its because I have not been praying about it.
Thanks for reading my story!

That introduction to life and sexuality makes for some real issues. There is a lot of unwinding to do, and that takes some really open discussion about where you are with your sexuality and how that squares with a biblical view of sex.

Your counselling will have given you some clarity about many issues. But did you deal with good sex then, or was that not on the agenda?
