Answers:
Yes it does and it really does hurt, i was molested too by my own grandfather when i was about 5 years old and it really affects the way i look at myself and men. Im sorry this happened to you to its very unfortunate, but i feel your pain and your aren't alone. Try to get help from a therapist it really helps, but also remember that you can never change the past, all you can do is look to the present and the future, you can fight the past. WHy.? because you are older and you have more control over yourself whereas when you were 12 you didn't really have too much of that. Get help as soon as possible for your own sake.

There is no doubt that it effects relationships...it effects every aspect of your life I think. I have a cousin who was molested when she was 12 or 13 and is now 18. She has had nothing but a string of bad relationships, mainly dealing with verbal abuse. It's like she just seeks out the worst men possible to date...and instantly "falls in love" with each of them after about a week. She thinks of herself as a sex toy, so most of the time she dresses like a prostitute...she's been wearing inappropriate clothes since she was like 15. And now she's dating a guy that is 35 and she's already moved in with him. No one knows how to help her, we all know she's just seeking out that father figure (her dad is bipolar, refuses to take his medication, is an alcoholic and has very,very intense and violent mood swings. He's been a drifter for quite some time and has become very sick.)
But about the physical health, I'm not sure...but I wouldn't doubt it. Emotions can manifest themselves physically. And most definitely emotionally. I was forced to do things with someone when I was 17 and it's definitely effected me emotionally. My relationship suffers at times because of how I view men and life after it happened.
My best suggestion to you is to get some help, find a therapist that you are comfortable with and work out these issues. Best of luck to you.Health Question & Answer
