What ways can being molested as a child effect you?

I think it is time to put this issue to bed with yourself. IF you cannot, then please see a shrink and work through it. There is NO reason to let this affect your entire life. Young people do stupid things and regret them. So stop with the self-blame and get on with your life. You see things through a slanted view, and it really is not necessary. Forgive yourself, forgive those who did these things, and get on with your future. We all have had bad things happen to us, we work through them, and survive just fine. The very best to you in your future. GW
