• 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.

I could not tell ware I should ask this but when I was kid, in 4th grade I saw my father watching vary grapic porn. He could not see me but I saw what was on the screen vary clearly and I will not tell what I saw, but that was how I learn how sex works (my father never gave me the talk, no one gave me the talk, the closet the little creep ever came was when he pointed out a women with big boobs and said those can not be real) I know he was masterbating to. I never got to confront him and I felt ashamed at what I had seen and have have told few people about it, and he knows I saw him, I know this because he stop and went looking for me and saw me, told me to go to bed and went back to what he was doing. he perteded that nothing happen untill he finaly skip out on me. Is this sexual abuse or not?

I would probably not go so far as to call that 'sexual abuse,' but that's one of those traumatic things that can affect people for a long time. It sounds like you saw an awefully lot of that video to be able to learn the birds and bees from it, so I'd just say he was a bit neglegent not knowing where you were when this was going on.

You should be old enough now to understand (well, nobody understands, but at least know about) the male sex drive. This should be something you can overcome.
