Survivors 
Cognitive Dissonance
Describes the mental discomfort people feel when their beliefs clash with reality. With CSA they want to believe that people are good and children are safe. When confronted with your story, it messes with their minds and leaves them conflicted. This translates to you not being validated the way you had hoped.
