[quote=Anonymous]I was raped when I was a college sophomore (2007). I would have been furious if the college called my parents without my permission.   I love my mother, she has a lot of amazing qualities about her, but she's an anxious person.  She would have made the experience SO much worse.

I did tell her a month later when I was in a better space mentally.

Reading some of these replies makes me think a lot of your kids would be in my position to.  Youd just make it worse.

You want your kid to come to you when something goes wrong?  Make it a safe place.  This needs to be started early.  Don't overreact to things.  Don't throw things in their face or guilt them.  Be a solution to the problem, not an added issue.  As much as I wanted to tell my mom right away, the voice in the back of my head was going "nope she's going to freak out. She's going to book a flight out here immediately. She's going to be on top of you trying to make sure you're ok. She's going to bring up the idea of moving schools. ".  And that's exactly what she did, but thankfully I was in a better head space then and could deal with it. [/quote]
