The Emotional Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse
Children who have experienced sexual abuse also often experience feelings like confusion, anger and betrayal. They often blame themselves and feel stigmatized, embarrassed and ashamed. They might have these feelings during the abuse, when it’s discovered or they have told someone, or at some point in the future.
What happened and how it happened will affect how you and your child feel. People who sexually abuse often make the child feel like it is somehow their fault, and may also threaten or deceive them. How the abuser worked to keep the abuse secret and how they used their power will have an impact.
