My dad likes to touch me. Is this sexual abuse?

If any person does something to you that you are NOT comfortable with, that is abuse. If they're inappropriately touching you, that is abuse. Your boundaries should not be crossed by anybody, family or not. Please remember that NONE of this is your fault. It can be hard to accept that someone close to you could be hurting you in such a way, but no matter what, this isn't your fault. You are not to blame at all for what is happening to you. Please try and seek help from your country or state, especially if you are under 18. It will get better. Don't be afraid to reach out.

Is the touch on your private parts? Does the touch feel inappropriate or is it crossing a boundary for you? Would you rather him not touch you in this way? Your body is your own, and know one is allowed to touch you without your explicit permission. Say "no" to touch that doesn't feel right to you. If saying "no" feels too uncomfortable or somehow unsafe, please reach out to someone you trust, a sexual abuse hotline, or a local social service organization to get the support you need and deserve. It is important that you reach out as soon as possible so you can get yourself the help you need. There is no shame in reaching out. If you are indeed a victim of sexual abuse, the shame is not yours to bear (even though it's natural to feel shame), it is your abuser's, exclusively, as he is the one who did something wrong. He is the parent and you are the child, regardless of your age (even teen or adult child).

It depends on how he is touching you. If he’s affectionate in a fatherly way, then perhaps not. But if he is touching certain body parts and inappropriate places… You also may want to think about how it makes you feel when he does this. Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you feel violated? That could also be an indicator. If you do feel violated or uncomfortable understand that his behavior is not your fault, or a result of anything you may be doing in particular. Ultimately he makes his own decisions and mistakes. If you ever find yourself feeling uncomfortable, there are many hotlines and numbers to call as well. :))) I Hope this helps!!!

I'd like to be honest to you, i think yes because father doesn't touch their children that way especially if its uncomfortable. I hope that you would find courage to seek help on this matter. You deserve protection and there are people who can help you with this. Don't be afraid, that's okay. And also, if you want to make sure if what was your dad's purpose on doing it, you can ask him but protect yourself. Call for help before doing this just for anything happens. Anyway, I wish you are in the right place and take care. Hope this message will get you.

That matters on how he's touching you and if you are giving consent. If he is touching you in your private areas, your butt, or your chest area and you did not give him permission or consent or you felt forced to give him permission or consent, then that would be sexual abuse, especially if he does that repeatedly. Your body is yours and no one has the right to touch it without your full given consent. I know it can be daunting to speak out against these situations since he is an authority figure in your life, so if you can try to find a trusted adult or call a hotline.

It is sexual abuse and you should come to talk to someone of your entire trust so they can help you to get out of this situation asap!

Depending on where and how he touches you, then it can be sexual assault. But bottom line is if he is making you uncomfortable ask him to stop and if he does not then report it to someone who can do something and someone u can trust.

ANY unwanted sexual contact, including kissing, fondling, or touching is sexual assault. It does not matter whether or not penetration is involved. And ALL cases of sexual assault are serious.

It depends on the way he is touching you. if it is sexual and inappropriate then yes it is. If this is the case you should seek professional help immediately. i recommend calling the police or telling a teacher / trusted adult.

If he touches you in a way that is inappropriately invasive then yes, that is sexual abuse and you should talk to someone.
