[quote=Anonymous]I'm actually not really sure.  My childhood through 20s bore all the hallmarks of someone who had childhood trauma - early hyper-sexualization, alcohol issues, obsessions with older and inappropriate men, lack of trust in anyone, etc.  I'm the person you read about and think "wow, what happened to her?".  My therapist in college kept trying to find something to explain it.  Even my mom has asked me (as a full-grown adult, we never talked about these things when I was young) if "someone did something to me" as a kid, because my actions at age 4-5 freaked her out but she didn't know how to ask me about it then.

So, maybe something?  Maybe not, maybe I was just born this way?  Guess I'll never really know.  The good news is that I've learned to control those issues, I know they do me more harm than good.  So even though I still don't really know why those feelings were there, I can put them in a box and get on with my life.  Took me a long time to get here, though.[/quote]
