Hey Fallen, I would definitely encourage you to seek out a therapist. I’m not sure where you and your parent landed on the issue of seeing a therapist in general, but I honestly think it would be really helpful, especially for things like flashbacks. I didn’t experience sexual trauma, but I have been in abusive situations, and the triggers and flashbacks can last years and come on super randomly. I’m sorry your parent is not taking you seriously, it’s hard to find your voice sometimes, but if you can talk to him about the flashbacks, maybe he’ll listen and then you can talk about the trauma as well… That might not be feasible, but you won’t know until you try. Much love to you, and I hope your healing progresses as smoothly as possible.
