Something from me is that I was more quiet and had to lie about what I did when I was over there, It was more half truths, the reason being quiet and lying is a big sign is because I’m talkative and an extrovert from having ADHD so I don’t shut up but when I was being sexually abused from 12-13 by my first boyfriend, I shut down so I didn’t talk much and I didn’t feel much emotionally even tho I generally am emotional but it still hurt a lot, and why the lying part is a big thing is because I’m a pretty open person so whatever happens I tell my parents about It, like what I did and all that stuff, I also suck at lying so that too, I’m not saying I don’t lie but that’s the only time I lied because I didn’t know how to tell them what he did to me cuz I didn’t know what it was called until I was in high school when I started remembering everything and It started destroying my life and I didn’t know what he was doing was wrong and I didn’t think anyone would believe me and I thought everyone would take his side so all I could do was lie, the complicated part about sexually abusive relationships especially when your a kid is that since I didn’t realize it was wrong of what he was doing to me and I was head over heels, I still wanted to see him, yes I know it makes no sense, believe me I don’t get it either but at the same time I get It because I didn’t understand what he was doing was wrong and that It was sexual abuse since that was my first relationship and I never got “the talk” either, technically I never did, I just found out one day on the internet, I know it had nothing to do with finding out he sexually abused me because I didn’t remember until my sophomore year of high school, so yea definitely some of the signs is behavioral changes, it’s not always them acting out, It can also them being more quiet and less open about what happened, and this is also how I acted when everything started coming back too, one thing that also made me realize how bad it was is I found out my type of trauma is called complex trauma which is prolonged and repeated trauma, which lasts months or years
