My (BP)ex was sexually abused as well, and so was I. PTSD(post traumatic stress disorder)and depression are frequently a result, and with any prolonged stress in the brain, it rewires itself, the way of processing and thinking changes and can lead to other things. From what I've read, there seems to many theories on what causes Bipolar and I believe I remember that being one of the possibilties, although it seems genetics plays a larger role. Irregardless, therapy is very beneficial. Males often have a harder time processing the sexual abuse bc of the stigma society puts on men and sex. They often keep it more of a secret and it's generally not something spoken with guy friends so it has the potential to do more internal damage as a secret. I let mine out after I remembered it years later, but it still tooks years from there to find peace with it and I still struggle with panic when it comes to sex. (well, maybe not, I'm not dating now or for quite a while)  Hugs and welcome!
