I was raised in a very conservative home and was taught that the body is VERY private. I would get slapped if my chest touched my mother's breasts when we hugged. When I was seven I was molested by my unlce. No one knew about it. Later that year I opened the living room curtains, not knowing my mom was in the shower, and when she got out, wrapped in towels to go to her room, she freaked out thinking I was trying to expose her to the neighbors. I was just a kid and had no such thought. As vengeance, one day when the house was full of guests and I was in the shower, she told me to wrap a towel around myself and come out to the living room. When I got there she introduced me to the crowd and then yanked my towel off. I ran away crying and embarrassed. I'm 38 now and didn't realize till today that I've been harboring pain and anger against my mother for it all these years. She has suffered much and cannot endure a confrontation on this, so I need to forgive. How do I let it go?
