My dad used to smack my ass whenever I passed him ever since I was about 6 or 7, maybe even 5. He would never leave me alone. Even when I was in a position which did not expose my backside (like lying on my back instead of my stomach) he would try to get to my ass as much as possible and would instead slap my thigh if he could not access it. I had told him many times to stop because it made me uncomfortable, however he continued doing it insisting it was out of “love”. Soon my mother joined in too but she stopped after the 3rd time I told her it made me uncomfortable. Everyone in my family knew about what my father did as he would do it whenever I was there regardless of where we were. He only recently stopped as I made sure to avoid him whenever he was in the house, however I still cannot get over it. I experience extreme difficulty when walking in front of people whether they’re strangers or family members as I cannot get past them without having an anxiety attack. Am I overreacting?
