Psychological adjustment to childhood sexual exploration: how to resolve confusion in memories

In the last few days, I can't help but recall what happened between me and my dad when I was a child, and in my mind, I feel as if I have been molested, and my mood is quite low.

I am 24 years old this year, but in the past two days, I have been thinking about the time when I was in elementary school and junior high school, and from time to time, I would have a slight genital contact with my dad, just like a light touch. I haven't done that since I was in junior high school, and now when I think about it, I feel particularly bad, and I even feel like I'm not being molested, but at that time, I did take the initiative to touch my dad's genitals.

Was that kind of behavior considered abnormal as a child? And what can I do to adjust my mindset now?

In fact, ah, our understanding of sex are slowly, need a process.

When we are young, especially in elementary school, we begin to realize that there is a difference between men and women, and we are naturally full of curiosity and questions about sex and the body, so we will always explore and understand in various ways.

You must have been especially curious about sex and your own body at that time, always trying to figure out what it was all about. Maybe your parents and school didn't give you a good sex education at that time, and that's why you were both confused and curious about sex.

Dad being your closest family member of the opposite sex, you trusted him, so having genital contact with him and wanting to explore sex is actually quite normal psychology and behavior. You were young then and hadn't developed the moral values you have now.

When I grow up.
