It my fault

I told my mom what happened to me, she was so mad "I thought you were a virgin" she said, how could you be so stupid, why didn't you tell me even your little cousin knows right from wrong and would immediately tell someone if that kind of stuff happened to her.

You disappointed me, we can't tell your dad about this it will ruin the whole family, I kept crying because now I regret telling her, I told her I need professional help but she said if I stop thinking about it I will get better. She never mentioned it again after that.


She was wrong I didn't get better, I can't live my house and when I do I get panic attack. I cry every night before I go sleep, no friends to talk to because I ghosted everyone. The only thing my parents care about is school and future, I'm not even sure I want to go to school and I can't tell my dad because am scared of him and there is nothing my mom can do about it.

@amicablePapaya5116 Of all the things she could have said to you, she said all the wrong ones. I'm so sorry. It is not and I mean it is absolutely not your fault. No one asks for bad things to happen to them. We don't always think clearly when things happen or we're often threatened to keep quiet. Or more often we already feel such shame that we can't speak up. We're shocked. We're traumatized.

Unfortunately it doesn't just magically go away. You can't just not think about it. Is there anyone else in your family you could speak to? An aunt?

Were you close with your friends? I know you said you ghosted them but if they knew why they might be understanding. Does your school have a counselor that you could talk to? Although they would pull your parents in and your father would find out, but you shouldn't have to hide what happened to you from anyone, because you did nothing wrong.

If you're not always living at your house all the time, is there someone where you're staying that you could confide in? You're welcome to share here of course. There are listeners you can talk with and there are teen chatrooms. There's even adult/ teen listeners. They're vetted better so you have a greater chance of talking to someone good. You don't have to go through all this alone. 💙

I don't think they would believe me instead they're probably going to tell their parents and my dad will find out. My parents don't really have a strong relationship with their family so that's out of the question. There is no one I can talk to, it always been me and my thoughts.


The fact that I still live in the same house where it happened makes it worse, I hate here so much and I don't know how much of this I can take btw thank you for replying, it means a lot to me.

@amicablePapaya5116 I wish I knew what to say to help you better. It would be incredibly hard to live in the same place. I do understand your fear of your father finding out. I do wish you didn't feel you have to be silent but I also understand why

I agree with @WorkingitThrough2 - you are important too but I also respect that you have to do what you feel is best for you
I hope you'll use this site for support. To the best of my knowledge there are teen chats for trauma but I'm not sure of the times. @TabbyCat97 is a mod for the teen side and would be better able to tell you what resources are available on the teen side. And of course you're always welcome to share in the forums and we're all just a tag away 💙

@amicablePapaya5116Im so sorry for what you are going through. Oftentimes the people we think will help us... just arent there for us. If you have any belief in God, just ask him to help you. God is the only thing that I can truly count own. Its sad that those closest to us hurt us the most. Hang in there. We can chat anytime... ive been with my boyfriend for 3 yrs+... he has been extremely difficult the last 6-7 months. We (or I) are moving to Colorado in less than 2 weeks and he is upsetting me with emotional abuse often. I have anger from how hes treated me and it builds up. Today was bad . but we got thru it. Hes so strange at night, waking me up, accusing me of lying, but Im getting ready to move to a great place where life will be better

Oh, My God, That was terrible of your mom to say that to you. Your mom sounded just like my mom when that happened to me, No it will not go away without proper treatment to help you process that traumatic episode, @mytwistedsoul gave you some doggone good advice.

I am so sorry that this happened and you feel you have no one to tell. You can not keep that buried inside of yourself because it will cause many more unwanted symptoms. You may be able to call a hotline in your state to just have someone to talk to about this, Using them may bring your parents to have to get involved.

My country doesn't really have a lot of resources regarding my mental health and even if they do, I don't think they'll care so I don't want to waste my time telling them what happened and nothing gets done besides I care too much about my family to let them know what happened maybe I should just stick to my mom's advice.

I mean am dieing inside everyday because everyone has refused to help me but it still better than letting my dad know what happened.





Thank you.

I understand and am so sorry that you are forced to keep silent about this matter. When we are forced to hide our secrets they carry an unconscious turmoil inside because the brain is unable to categorize the incident into its proper place, therefore, causing it to cause more stress in our head and our emotions and even affect us physically.

I agree with you that family is very important but let me remind you that you are too. You should not have to choose between yourself and your family. There is what is called Self Preservation. The lack of dealing with it and keeping silent is that it still has power over you to be unable to heal properly.

I do however understand your position and I respect your decision to do what you feel is right for your self. We are still here for you at any time you just need an ear or a friend😊
