Question by ?ImaginationGirl?: What are the long term effects on victims of child molestation?
Can someone give me some good information or websites with a good list of common long term effects? It’s been 5 years and I don’t know if what I am going through is normal.

Any information would be great.

There are also a lot of books you could get at amazon.com

The stuff about how the abused go on to molest others isn’t quite true. That is, molesters often themselves were molested, but they’re just a tiny fraction of those who have been molested. The vast majority of molestation victims do NOT go on to become molesters themselves!
