I was sexually abused years ago by my mums brother(he was aged about 17-18 at the time, and I was 5 or 6), I did not tell anyone about it till I was 16, I told my mum. I also found out he abused my sister aswell. My mum told me at first not to tell anyone cos they would never believe me, and she also said he was too young to know what he was doing. After that she turned to complete denial and said she did not believe me. To this day she has never even asked her brother if he did it, or said she believes me but I think she does believe me now, deep down.
She still visits him, and tells me about it, and when I tell her I am not interested in anything to do with him she gets offended.
This has affected me alot and I just cannot forget about it, I have no respect for my mum-but we have an okay relationship on the surface. Do I need to just forgive and move on? How can I though if noone ever admits anything bad happened?
this WAS serious sexual abuse by the way.
