[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is easier for her to blame you and pull away from you.  She could have shown him the baby pictures without sending them to him. Him sending them back to you was a power play. [b]Block his texts. [/b]He is not feeling ashamed, nor is your Mom. [/quote]

These are all correct.  More therapy. Surround yourself and your sweet baby with other people. Your mother is not going to give you the reaction you want and deserve.  Oh, and your mom is terrible for saying you should have stopped it. She should have been a parent who you felt comfortable going to so SHE could have stopped her grown husband from abusing a MINOR.  It was NOT your responsibility to stop it. Repeat that every day three times a day.  It was NOT your fault and it was not your responsibility for stopping it.[/quote]

+1  Keep going to therapy.  I'm sorry to say that I can see my mother reacting like this.  I get that she's a lot older know and it would be difficult for her to be on her own but she's always chosen the man in her life (first my abusive father and then, once widowed, her 2nd husband).  One of the hardest things is accepting that I don't have the mother I deserved - that all kids deserve.  Your mother sounds the same.  That understanding is earth-shattering.  You'll do better for your kids.  Hugs. [/quote]
