An individual who was sexually abused as a child is an adult survivor of child sexual abuse. . . . Each individual's experiences and reactions are unique to that individual. However, with so many survivors breaking the silence and talking about their experiences, it has become apparent that there are some responses to child sexual abuse that are common to many survivors. Feelings of extremely low self-esteem or self-hatred are common in survivors. Extreme depression is something with which survivors also battle. Survivors often experience frequent sleep disturbances and nightmares. Links have been made between this and the fact that children are often sexually abused in their rooms, in their own beds. Trust is a crucial issue for many survivors throughout their lives. They were betrayed by the very people who cared for them, who insisted they loved them even while abusing them.

It can be upsetting, frightening, or uncomfortable if you find yourself in this situation. Remember that it's not your fault that the other person is acting this way—they are responsible for their own actions. . . . Trust your gut. Don't feel obligated to do anything you don't want to do. . . . Have a code word. Develop a code with friends or family that means "I'm uncomfortable" or "I need help." It could be a series of numbers you can text, like "311." It might be a phrase you say out loud such as, "I wish we took more vacations." This way you can communicate your concern and get help without alerting the person who is pressuring you. It's okay to lie. If you are concerned about angering or upsetting this person, you can lie or make an excuse to create an exit. It may feel wrong to lie, but you are never obligated to remain in a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, scared, or threatened.
