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

Depends on the type of touch. You can understand this , as how comfortable you are with the touch. You can always ask friends/family if you are unsure about it. But if you are uncomfortable, tell him to stop.

Depending on the type of touching, yes. My dad and I are very physically affectionate but he never makes me uncomfortable or touches me in a "private place". If your dad touches your "swimsuit" area, you need to tell a trusted adult as soon as possible.

Depends on what touching it is. General contact such as a pat on the back may be unwelcome to some people, but not necessary sexual in nature. If this is referring to touching as in for genital areas, that for sure crosses the line outside of a medical need context. If that is the case, there are many resources available. The national Sexual Abuse hotline is at 1-800-656-4673, and there is always the local resources you have a available of the police department, or teachers if you are in school.

It depends on how he’s touching you. If it’s in a sexual way, then yes, unfortunately. If you’re not sure if it’s sexual, think about how uncomfortable it makes you, and if he respects your boundaries.

It ultimately depends on the way he touches you. If he does it repeatedly in inappropriate areas, like your genitals or breasts, it could possibly be sexual abuse. If it's an occasional brush of your hair, cheek, or shoulder, there's a higher chance that it isn't sexual abuse, but nonetheless, please don't hesitate to seek help if this is occurring to you.

"A touch that makes you uncomfortable in your own skin OR Inappropriate touch which includes touching intimate body parts." If his touch feels anything like mentioned above, it is sexual abuse.

It depends. Mostly with your father's personality, your father-child relationship and your say about the matter. If you feel uncomfortable with his actions, if he starts touching you in appropriate places you do not want him to then there's a huge possibility it's a sexual abuse.

If the touching makes you uncomfortable in anyway, such as molestation, then yes. I would advise anyone who's going through this to talk to someone they trust about it.

It depends on in what way he is touching you. If you feel violated in any way it is. You should get in touch with someone.

If it is in a sexual way then yes. Always try and talk to someone you trust about this sort of thing like a friend of someone close to you. I spoke to my friend about this and was taken seriously
