Childhood abuse
Hi
I am a 26 year old that I thought was doing well at dealing with my childhood. Age of 5 I was abused by my dad. I believe I am dealing with a condition called repressed memories as I didn't remember the incident till I was 15 triggered by my step dad being arrested for suspicion of pedophillia and sex offending (cleared of all counts). Too me years to piece bits of memories back together, years of thinking I was sick, thinkingI had dreamt it all. The memories eventually increased in details until I asked my mum and she confirmed everything.
Through the next years I used it to drive myself in my career and life to prove I was better then him. I confronted him and he made the following years hell.
Last year I had a breakdown based around this and not dealing with the deaths of close family members and a best friend. This last year I have been so much better after finally opening up and talking about it. My issue now is that there is still no closure and now I am having dreams again with little details about my childhood still involving my dad. I'm worried that there is more abuse that I'm still unaware of or if they are false memories caused my stress or triggers.
