[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4:41 - I see a therapist for other issues. Haven't brought it up because a) I fear the discomfort of talking about it, b) I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to say anything that would help, and c) I'm worried she would want me to confront him, which I absolutely can not do.

6:31 - thank you for sharing. I really hope I can move on the way uou have. May I ask how long it took you to deal with what happened and stop let it affecting you? Is the abuser still in your life at all?

6:34 - she wasn't in denial about the stuff I remember happening, just shocked and supportive.  I am worried about her bringing it up and things being awkward. I hate that it's out there now. [/quote]

No competent therapist will make you confront him. Even if they suggest it, you can tell them no, right?

With regard to your fears about your mother, it's out there now. Completely understandable that you're freaked out about it, but it's good that it's out there. It's healthy that you've talked about it. Focus on that as best you can, okay? However she continues to react, you've done the right thing in taking the secret out of hiding.[/quote]
