My story started when my mum met my stepdad at 3 years of age. From that day i spent many years being abused. I feel like my mum knew but denied it. I have a sister (same dad) and she went onto have another 3 boys. I am 34 years old now and finally spoke out to my family a few month ago. I really wish i hadnt and its definitely made things hard. My mum says she believes me but is still living her normal life with my step dad and i believe that she has told my brothers that it is not true. I dont live close to my family anymore but im very close to sister and was to my brothers. My eldest brother is getting married next year and has uninvited me to his wedding. Whether he believes me or not i don't know. I feel like the only option i have is to walk away from my mum but i also feel i cant i love her so much. She is quite a weak person and lives in her own world denying all the past.

That sounds like a lot you are dealing with. That must be hurtful or disappointing that your brother would do that, and your mum discredit your words. I guess this is huge information for your family and it will take them time to process it. I hope that you have someone supportive to talk to, who is on your side? Even at least a counsellor and/or helplines. Surrounding yourself with supportive people. 💛
