what affects would (sexual) child abuse have on a girl once she's grown?

Question

molested by her father at that?

Answer 1

Someone who gets molested is always traumatic.. but if this is a family member and a ''father'' then this is not likely to be a one time occurrence but unless she tells her mom, which she should do right away.. and a good mother believes her daughter even over her husband, definitely councelling is necessary I would think.. and even more so if this is a member of the family who does the molesting.. not a complete stranger.. Then it would still be traumatic but most likely not happen more than once.. but if this is someone who is a member of the family.. he has access to the house and to the girl.. so I hope that most mothers take their daughters seriously and believe them even if it's the stepdad... It happens also that a father does this.. but still more often it's the rule of sexual abuse occurs in the family it's an uncle or a stepfather not the real father.. and some stepdads' are great and wonderful and probably more like a real dad than any other guy could be but some commit sexual abuse on their step daughters...or the 'uncle'' and in some cases the stepbrother, the cousin or even the brother... that if it goes past molestation and turns into rape.. is incest and a serious crime and they belong in prison and hopefully every girl who is a victim of that can tell her mom and is believed.. and gets councelling.. if they get councelling and their mother believes them and removes them from the ''dangerous environment''' then I believe they can overcome this trauma and have a healthy realtionship and build up trust again and realize not all men are alike...x
