I finally told my mom about some of my trauma
My moms ex bf has been out of our lives for over three years now and he sexually abused and harassed me. He would always "mistake" me for my mom and grab my butt or come up behind me and touch me inappropriately. I finally told my mom the truth today. I'm really proud of myself but I'm having a lot of conflicting emotions about it. I also told her about how one of my ex boyfriends molested me in my sleep. We also talked a bit about some of the things my father did to me when I was really young. I'm hoping that finally telling her will help me heal and move forward even more than I already have.
@iliketotalk congratulations, what you did was very brave! This is definitely one of the hardest topics in the world to open up about, but you challenged your fears and did something that can help you, something good for yourself. You are very strong, and hopefully talking about it will help you processing better, for some people it really makes all the difference! Thank you for sharing your story. I hope it will inspire other people to stand up for themselves and do something that can help them process.
@iliketotalk I recently did the same with my mom about my father. I felt really good to finally get off my chest. I had always worried about telling not because i didn't think she wouldn't believe me or be supportive. I didn't want to tell her the man she thought she had loved did something so awfull to the child they had together.
