Could I Be Suffering From Repressed Memory?
6 Answers
From the ages of 7-10, I engaged in what I guess you would call child sexual play with another female cousin who was just one year older than me. I am having the memories now that this cousin penetrated me with her fingers, but years ago I had no recollection of this happening. I don't know if these memories are real or if they are just repressed memories. I feel really depressed. I feel depressed as well because I would engage in these things even though I knew they were wrong.

Childhood is not idyllic. For many, if not the majority, it is far from being that.
What would help if you could tell us when this happened. These days young children are exposed to sexual influences far younger than ever before. Under such influences your cousin could have fallen victim to influences she could not control or even understand.
How much older was your cousin than you were at the time?
Child abuse takes many forms, in my case it was piano teacher who battered me, always over the chest, every time I made a mistake. He was the church organist and my dad was the minister!
One of my brothers finally stood up to the bastard and then we moved away.
You need to ask yourself if you seriously feel your cousin abused you. If your answer is yes, then you have recourse through the courts, but bear in mind she could have been just another prematurely sexualised kid that really didn't know what she was doing, or why it was so wrong.
