When I was younger I was sexually abused by a female my parents trusted to take care of me now I'm confused,I am attracted to my female friends, I also fell for one of them, didn't say anything because I knew the mess it would have made. I'm also attracted to men, but my confusion lies in whether or not I would feel this way if the abuse didn't happen. I would prefer if I was born with these feelings, then I would know that they are mine and not someones doing, Does anyone have a similar problem, how do you deal with it?

Hi there. I believe we are, who we are. I don't think sexual abuse makes us one way or the other sexually. Maybe you are bisexual. Is it really important why you are this way, would it really change anything, or make you less attracted to women ?

@turbulence I don’t think Id change it, but I think I would be more comfortable about it

The best thing you can do is forgive yourself.... and accept yourself for whoever you are/become and do what makes you happy. Release the connection of something so beautiful as consensual intimacy from the abuse. I was abused too, but not by a woman. It's no question that my sexuality is effected by what happened to me, I can't change it. All I can do is fin happiness in the chaos.
