Was I molested at a young age?
It's probably a relief to get that out of your system from holding it in all this time; however, you should probably go to a therapist to talk to. Going to a therapist does not mean you are crazy, but rather in need of someone non-judgmental to talk to. And let me tell you, people in Yahoo! Answer are very judgmental.
Is this molestation or not?
Jesus, what is wrong with you? You accused your mother of a serious crime of which she is innocent. You were NOT forced or coerced into doing something you did not want to do; therefore, YOU are NOT a VICTIM of MOLESTATION. You even said so, "i can't tell anyone because i technically wasn't" I have been molested, and TRUST ME, it's not a simple rubbing motion. Accept that you haven't been and get over it, seriously. It's an insult to people who have. If you are truly and dearly struggling with this, then go see a therapist. When you mean all the symptoms, do you mean changes in behavior, extreme mood swings, withdrawal, fearfulness, and excessive crying; bed-wetting, nightmares, fear of going to bed, or other sleep disturbances; acting out inappropriate sexual activity or showing an unusual interest in sexual matters; a sudden acting out of feelings or aggressive or rebellious behavior; regression to infantile behavior; school or behavioral problems; changes in toilet-training habits; a fear of certain places, people, or activities; bruises, rashes, cuts, limping, multiple or poorly explained injuries; and pain, itching, bleeding, fluid, or rawness in the private areas? Because I seriously doubt it. Edit: I'm sorry if i came across as rude, but it still wasn't molestation. That was my whole point. I'm sorry that you felt traumatized by it, but it still wasn't molestation. There are too many people screaming rape when they haven't been, thus destroying the credibility of all the real victims. You are a victim of mistaken unwanted touching, but not of molestation. I am truly sorry that it made you uncomfortable. Right now, you're most confused about whether or not it was molestation so I am trying to make you see, rather harshly for a reason, that it was not. I can't remember exactly what you said about your therapist, but seek some time of help again if you're experiencing your symptoms, which for all you know may be an inherent part of your personality. Who knows? Anyway, I do wish you the best and hope you overcome your distress.

My mom knew that my dad was molesting me but she did not do anything. Is my mom partly to be blamed why I went through hell as a kid?
Your mom failed to protect you. That's negligent. She is to blame for failing to protect you and allowing you to be abused.As for these other two answers currently here, I disagree with only because I am further along in working through my own trauma. Saying your mom is evil and that any decent mom would have called the police is extremely black and white thinking. How you feel about your mom is yours to work through and will probably fluctuate. All of those feelings are OK.Maybe the dad was abusive to the mom and she was terrified to turn him in or afraid it would make things worse. Maybe she grew up being abused. Maybe she was sexually abused herself and thus put her into a state of dissociation or helplessness. I think this was the case with my own mother. Her unhealed trauma caused her to fail me in some big ways that further damaged me.I'm not saying her inaction is excusable. It's not OK for any caregiver to abuse or allow abuse. I'm saying there are sometimes complicated reasons behind it, which makes it not as simple to work through.I'm sorry your dad abused you and your mom didn't protect you. I hope you are able to find healing.
I think my neighbor is molesting his daughter, what can i do to know for sure?
for ama b reel & a few other who have answered this ? I have a job, i don't watch Oprah & we don't gossip, this is a serious situation here, some of you may be right that maybe shes just really shy & maybe he's very over protective, but im a mother i have a 2 & a half yr old daughter, the guy is always nice to me, but he's a jerk to my friend who lives right next to him, whenever my friend & i are outside with our little ones & they run over to his side of the yard he comes right outside & starts yelling at us to get our kids out of his yard, if we walk by his window to go to the back yard he closes his blinds right away! he just seems to be really weird sometimes & it is weird that his daughter has NO friends! IDK i was just trying to ask if there was a way i could find out if he is molesting her without makeing a big deal out of it.my mom was molested when she was young & her father acted the same way towards her & her sisters, as this guy is acting towards his daughter!
Is molestation the same as rape?
I was molested multiple times as a child, when I talk about it I usually just say I was raped because it's easier for me to say. I told this to a male friend of mine and he said it was awful that I "lied" about rape. He told me I was being misleading by using the word rape and I now have this horrible feeling that I lied about something terrible. Is it okay to use the word rape instead of molestation? Personally, I had never thought of them as much different until he said that but I feel so bad if I offended any victims out there.
Is this molestation or sexual abuse?
I feel so sorry for you as it seems you have endured (& still enduring) a vicious, calculating abuser controlling your life. You need help to become emancipated & independent. Why can you not speak to a counsellor in confidence? They are likely to refer you for therapy. Masturbation is just normal but you somehow link this to your lack of self-esteem & have feelings of guilt. It would seem that you have blurred boundaries between your fantasies & reality. You really are troubled & are getting no parental support at all. Can you talk to that cousin? Another way may be a call to Child Protective Services anonymously? You may be able to contact local charities for help & support - your counsellor may be able to give you details. You may provide the catalyst that your mother has needed & that you are doing best by your sister & brother. Try to be strong but definitely make the first steps to a professional as they are bound by client confidentiality & can only discuss the situation in certain circumstances. I wish you all the best in this & in improving your life.
How come a person who has molested a child may not be diagnosed as being a pedophile?
Pedophilia is a mental disorder (paraphilia) wherein the primary sexual object is a person below the age of puberty (generally 13 years). And it is only a mental disorder if it adversely affects one's life to inhibit normal function (to include societal expectations to not have sexual feelings for a child).If the preferred sexual object does not include a person below the age of puberty, they would not be a pedophile. Sexual assault of a child is primarily based on opportunity, blocked access to the preferred sexual object, and lack of impulse control, with impulse control sometimes being affected by intoxication.In most jurisdictions, molestation of a minor includes those beyond the initial stages of puberty, to age 17 in many cases. It is not considered a mental disorder to find an individual having secondary sex traits (e.g., breast development, facial hair) to be considered sexually attractive; since our evolutionary inheritance includes sexual activity at earlier ages, due to the body being generally capable of reproductive functions once attaining puberty; with such cultural difference primarily having to do with shorter life expectation in early humans. The current conceptualization of adulthood being attained well past puberty onset is more consistent with fairly recent findings of full cognitive development not being attained until the mid-20s. (Dan Robb's answer to Why are people pedophiles?)
Is this molest? it was accidentally, I think.?
Everyone cheats during three-blind-mice, right? My friend, a guy (im a girl) accidentally touched my butt (cause he was short), which is considered catched me. Then my friends keep saying that he molested me. Actually he didn't really touched my butt, he only touched my lower spine. That's not butt! How do I explain to my friends in a way according to law, that he did not molest me? they wouldn't believe unless its according to law, that if we went to court, he wouldn't lose. he really did not molest me. But ppl say that he cheated and purposely molest me.
