Needing help sending email to my Mom

...See more I’m sending an email to my mom to tell her that I’ve decided to go no contact with my dad. They are married and have an okay relationship. I’m wanting to tell her how he molested me but in a way that isn’t defensive. I’m trying to word it as I want to open up to her. I’m terrible at writing so does anyone have any tips?

*TW* How do I end my relationship with my dad but not my family

...See more **For context my dad, mom and adult siblings live in another state. My dad is known by everyone for being abusive but everyone is too scared to do anything. They believe everything he says as truth and will not argue with him. My dad used to touch all over my body when I was a teenager and have me undress from the waist up. He would have me sit on his lap and just hold me while I was half naked. He never exposed himself to me but sometimes would have me massage his hip and ask me to go lower. This went on for about 3 or 4 years. I’m now 28 with 3 kids and I want to cut him out of my life. The problem is I tried telling my mom before and she just said I was lying. So I just let things go. I have a baby girl now and I’m terrified of him having any kind of relationship with her. Part of me wants to tell everyone the truth since my sister-in-laws are both expecting babies this year but if I tell them I’m worried they will take his side and I lose my family. My husband is on board with whatever I decide but I need some advice from anyone that has gone through something similar.

Life story finally told (TW)

...See more I am a 28 year old female and have finally decided to take the time to piece together my life story. Some have heard bits of my story, my husband knows most of it, but no one knows all of it. I’m hoping to recover from childhood trauma and maybe bring to light some repressed memories. I encourage you to ask me questions and give me advice. I need some input and help through this process. Overall the outcome of this is a decision: do I finally cut ties with my family or continue on the current relationship I have. TRIGGER WARNING: Childhood m*lestation, s*icidal thoughts, inc*st, domestic violence
