you are allowed to get upset at any time that you fell needed because there is no time limit on when the effect will kick in.

Absolutely! Seeking help doesn't have a set timeline, being upset doesn't either. You are valid in how you feel and your path to healing.

Heck yes you are allowed to be upset! Our bodies and minds have no statutes of limitations inside regarding anything that happens to us. Some people do not start to think or process a situation or chain of events until after that person has been long gone from their lives or something similar to that. Also, people abused as children don't normally think what happens at home is "bad" until they're adults or later in life and then go back and have some emotional turmoil about the abuse that happened to them as children. I say when you finally connect and become aware of the feelings inside, don't trap them. work through them healthily. :)

It is never too late to get help for things that have gone on in your life, no matter how big or small it may be. Later is better than never.

Yes, you are completely allowed to be upset. There is no statute of limitations! Take care of yourself as best you can and ask for what you need, if you can. Or find help here.

What do you mean "allowed"? You own your emotions, you can feel whatever you feel and it will never be wrong! And yes, of course you're allowed to get help even if it happened a while back! If it's haunting you till this day, you have every right/entitled to get as much support as you need to recover and heal!!

Of course! It's best to get help as soon as possible, but nobody's going to tell you you're wrong for how you feel.

You should start getting help right away. The problem can get worse as time goes on if nothing is done
