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

It depends where he is touching you. If it's a brush on the shoulder or a pat on the back no. But if it's your breast, bum, or vaginal area, yes

If your dad touches you in a sexual manner or in places that you consider private, this behavior can count as sexual abuse.

Yes, it is. It is inappropriate for anyone to touch you without your permission. You have a variety of options. You can say something to a trusted adult, or say something to your dad. I know none of this is easy. If you need to talk through this with someone use the live chat and they will connect you with a listener. You can also choose to talk to me about it. I am sorry this is happening to you. We are here to listen.

It depends on how your dad touches you. If your dad touches you at delicate and private places where he shouldn't touch as a man, then its wrong for him to do that. Also if you are uncomfortable with your dad touching you too much, it would be best if you let him know

If you don't like it or say no and he keeps doing it, then yes. Seek help immediately to stop this behavior or try telling him to stop. Please don't let this continue if you don't want it to happen. Best of luck.

Well I guess that would depend on "how" your dad is touching you. If it feels inappropriate or uncomfortable then you need to tell someone. You should speak to a trained professional at the sexual abuse hotline and discuss your concerns. They will help you to decide what you need to do.

Inappropriate touching is absolutely sexual abuse and should be brought to the attention of someone you completely trust. It is not okay for anyone to be touching someone else, inappropriately. It doesn't matter what the relation/gender is. Sexual abuse is NOT okay. Talking about it IS okay.

Well consider asking yourself this: does it make you uncomfortable? Family members often show affection but if you believe that your dad is going too far express your discomfort.

Well, are you okay with your dad touching you, and is it more of a bond or a sexual thing. Do you feel comfortable with him doing theses things. Do what makes you feel comfortable and put and end to anything bothering you. Have you always had a relationship with your dad? Such as do you think these things are normal. If your dad is do anything without consent from you talk to someone trusted and get their advice. Do what ever makes you feel best and makes you have a good relationship. Do what you want not what he wants.

Unfortunately, yes. If your father is touching you in any kind of sexual way that is making you feel uncomfortable you should probably tells someone like a trusted adult. That would definitely be identified as sexual abuse.
