KaleidoKnight+FollowSame-sex competition: My mother sees me as her competition😳🤦♀️Growing up, I thought my mom was my safe place. She counseled women through trauma, so I believed she’d understand mine. But when I finally told her I was molested as a child—by someone she hired—she called me a liar and manipulator. My dad, despite his own faults, hugged me and apologized. My siblings confessed they’d been hurt too, but my mom only believed my brother, and still won’t get him therapy. I feel so angry and lost. I moved back home because I couldn’t afford rent, but now I’m stuck in a house where my pain is ignored. How do you rebuild trust when the person you need most refuses to see you? I just want to talk to someone who gets it. Is it even possible to fix this? Or am I just setting myself up for more heartbreak? 😤💔😵💫 #FamilyTrust #Trauma #SeekingValidation #RomanticRelationships3620Share
