Was I emotionally disturbed as a child? Its long.?

When I was little I went to counseling for a few years because my parents got divorced when I was about 3 and a half years old. I went until I was about maybe 7 I think. A while ago my mom and I were talking about how I may want to be a therapist (majoring in psych) and she was telling me that I was in counseling because of the divorced but also because I was emotionally disturbed. My mom was like "you were emotionally disturbed all messed up in the head, but now your a lot better,but your still a little messed up tho." Any ways what does emotionally disturbed mean exactly? In elementary school I was quiet and shy except if I got angry I would yell at the person and once this kid said something that made me upset and I hit him (not really sure if it was slap cause my fist was closed, but he cried a little and it made me feel better.) I also had a guy friend in 4th grade who would let me hit him how ever i wanted to and he would tickle me. (strange friendship) and also I was molested twice when I was 8/9 and around 11. The abuse happened after therapy tho, so not sure if they had anything to do with it. All throughout middle school I went to the school counselor for like group therapy. I just sat there and played the games never really said much. By middle school I was better I didnt yell or hit ppl anymore I was still quiet and shy I had a few friends. I didnt want a lot of friends and mostly kept to myself. I was also in O.T for a while when I was younger. In H.S I no longer went to any type of therapy and now I'm in college and fine. The first time I was molested I didnt tell anyone but the 2nd time I told my mom cause the guy who was her bf at the time the night b4 tried to me (attempted to) and the next morning I told my mom what happened and she said I was lying. Never told anyone else what happened. Soon after though the died of some blood clot (I acted sad when i heard he died but I was sooo happy). Also my dad was an alcholic and physical abusive towards my mom, but not me. My parents have been being friendly with eachother the past few years, my dad had gotten help for his problem and I see him and talk to him about once or twice a month. (I'm 19 now). Also when i was little I was sorta touchy-feely. I would hug a boy even if I liked him just a tiny bit, now not so much. so anyways was I emotionally disturbed when i was a child? and how? Since middle school if someone gets me upset I keep the feelings inside and all bottled up. Howcome in elementary school if someone got me mad I would yell or hit them? Also I never really gotten in trouble for anything. In school never had to stay in for recess or got a detention. They would just make me go the counselor( in elementary school). Sorry its long.
