idk who needs to hear this, but a person CAN be sexually abused by a person they have attraction to. they CAN ALSO like the feeling in the moment, then realise they've been abused because they never gave consent.
I'm done seeing y'all invalidate people's abuse because 'they've felt an attraction so they must have wanted it'. NO. FUCK YOU. you can also consent to having sex with a person and it can still be abuse if they do things to you that you didn't consent to during or before sex.
a lot of people will also continue to feel attraction to their abuser. this is also completely normal and in no way gives you an excuse to nullify their claim.
the saddest part is that there's so much abuse that we don't even consider abuse. they 'don't have condoms' and coerce you into sex? abuse. I had a friend whose boyfriend kept going, knowing the condom broke, without telling her — that's also abuse and she didn't even realize.
