A few days ago I told my best friend about my sexual abuse, which I suffered when I was about 7 to 9 years old. I told her that I had loose, vague memories of being groped at that age by my uncle, and she responded something like, "But don't you really remember?" I felt like that comment was invalidating my experience or something, plus at the time I was telling her (through notes in a notebook because I couldn't get it out of my voice), she was focusing on other things and smiling as she read. She also said to me "Why don't you tell name of another of our friends?" I felt like that was suggesting that I was a burden in a "Go stress this other girl out, not me" kind of way: I didn't do it because I wasn't ready, but I felt bad anyway. I always wonder if she was prejudiced towards victims of sexual abuse or if she didn't do it on purpose and didn't know what to say. I just want to vent here and see if anyone is going through or went through something similar.
