Do the work: Sexual abuse by a family member impairs development of basic trust in close relationships .For some, it is possible to function relatively well ignoring this. But your growth as a person will require that you enter a therapeutic relationship (support groups, psychologist) that brings you forward to handle the mixed feelings involved.Do the work and you can move forward, ignore it and remain impaired.
