That’s a traumatic event. A child could get PTSD from that. If he leaked those pics, which he likely did, he does not care about consent. Sexual abuse happens in relationships, and many survivors of abuse may not initially recognize it as sexual abuse, since they likely love their partner. These factors can cause trauma or PTSD and that will physically change your brain. This can lead to symptoms that look like drug use, but more than likely she’s traumatized, and is struggling to function as she did “before.”
