I don’t trust my mom after this *TW*
Back in August I broke off a two year, toxic and abusive relationship. I won’t get into details, but it was disgusting and I’m thankful I got out.
I’m now dating a wonderful man and have been for 6 months.
Last week certain circumstances forced me to tell my mother everything, and she had no idea before.
I’ve told her that I’m okay now, that I’ve moved on.
She told my dad what happened, not everything, but most. I told her that was a huge invasion of privacy and she said that, because they are married, she felt she couldn’t keep secrets from him.
She says I need therapy, that I need to learn my self worth, and other stuff
A) I may need therapy but not for this, I’ve talked and processed it enough to be fine.
B) she said this as she thinks the reason I stayed was because I was so desperate for a boyfriend. That is not the case.
I feel I can no longer trust my mom. She keeps acting like this happened to us, not me. And how somehow it’s my fault, I should’ve been smarter and such.
She keeps bringing it up, even though I tell her I don’t like talking about it. She wants to know all the details.
I’ve chosen to try and forget that part of my life, but she won’t let me. She actually is more concerned about my reputation, as he has videos and photos of me, than what I actually want.
I just don’t think I can trust my mom after this.
