STATE OF BETRAYAL AND CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
An Introduction: Child sexual abuse is a sexual contact between an adult and a child. If an abuser is a trusted family member or a caregiver, a child feels pressured in some way by the abuser to have sexual contact. This involves the use of power and control by the adult who gain sexual fulfillment resulting in ultimate betrayal and traumatic conditions. A child may not think about the abuse for several reasons, such as a fear that disclosure may break up the family. Failure to think about events will add to factors like isolated memory and betrayal traumas.
ơ Child sexual abuse and repeated abuses increase the risk of personality disorders. Abusive symptoms usually occur due to the loneliness, stress, depression, mental disorder, alcoholic disorders and substance abuse. Factor effecting physical sexual abuse can be intentional or planned. Prolonged physical abuse results in severe psychological and emotional disturbances. When individuals are sexually abused as children, they are at risk of several negative outcomes in adulthood (Milligan & Andrews, 2005). Thus, being a survivor of child sexual abuse is clearly a disadvantage.
