What is the most common effect or disorder people can get if they were sexually abused as a child?and why does that have such a huge impact on a person, being sexually abused as a child by a family member?

Gay or abusive. Or they are a pedophile too. They were young when it happened. And it scared them for ever. So its been in their mind for ever.

they could feel they are not safe around men or women depending on there situation and feeling like all men/women are bad. it could damage them and make them feel unsafe around everyone, maybe even there own mom/dad. It can be some sad situations.... poor people

Why does it have such a huge impact??? Gee, I don't know, try imagining what it must have been like in their shoes. The effects are devastating because alot of times, the children who are being abused suppress what happened to them. It's too painful to think about. When they get older it will come out somehow in their behavior and might not be aware of it like: afraid of being intimate, being withdrawn, not being able to trust. Therapy is really important to get all the negative feelings out. The number one emotions experienced are anger and powerlessness.

They like to sexually abuse others.
The sexual abuse does not have to be by a family member. Although a large percentage is, and even larger percentage is NOT.

maybe dissociative personality disorder, or post traumatic stress disorder, or major depression. Or all the above, and more. Why? because a child's family is her world, her safe harbor, her family is her mirror on the world and forms her lifelong patterns of trust and expectations. If her family member is abusing her, and no one else protects her, she becomes distrustful of people in general. It may seem like people only touch her if they want to hit or hurt her sexually. She may withdraw from any social interaction, and have no real capacity to love or trust anyone.
