[quote=Anonymous]Get a new therapist.

I, too, had a traumatic, abusive childhood and my father killed himself when I was 20 (still the best thing that has EVER happened in my life).  I suspect your DH sharing his concerns/actions at the birthday party re-triggered your trauma.  Despite years of therapy, I suspect he inadvertently ripped off that scab covering your pain. It is complete BS that your current therapist does not recognize this.  You are not in a place to manage a face-to-face relationship with your mother.  And, when you add your legitimate concerns about abuse, you are 'flooded'.  It's time to take a break from your mother and regroup.  I advocate the approach a PP suggested that you not announce anything, you just withdraw.

I'm really sorry you're going through this.  I know how difficult this is.  You need a therapist that can recognize your current trauma and help you.  It's too early to say whether, in the long run, whether you'll have a relationship with your mother.  Hugs.[/quote]
