Welcome, from another newbie. Yes, very, very definitely sexual abuse. To now ask you to get together with him is an extension of that original abuse - and I can understand your need for validation.
Take care.

RE - Re-experiencing Trauma / Re: How often can you have emotional flashbacks?
November 12, 2016, 10:44:03 PM
I have just joined today, and am so glad to have found this thread.
I feel as though I have been in an emotional flashback, of varying intensity, for the past few months. I am transferring my mother onto my wife (not good...), experiencing emotional/physical sensations of needing to hide my body from her, make sure she does not come into my room when I am changing, or bathroom when showering, etc.
While I am now going for EMDR, it is going to take time, due to the complex nature of my trauma (childhood abuse of all varieties by my mother). However I am starting to separate my wife from my mother.
Certainly emotional flashback is how I am experiencing, and would describe, it all.
