Might be triggering for some. (Sexual abuse)

i need to vent.

I was molested by my uncle, cousin, and 2 boys at a day care when I was younger. I’m 21 now and I still haven’t been able to tell my mother. I feel like she won’t believe me because they’re family and she loves them. I say this because she finds it normal being sexualized by a man. She’ll often get upset if I stand up for myself when a man is cat calling me and such. Her favorite line is “he’s a man, that’s what they do”. My fear is when I actually grow balls and tell her she just might not take my side or believe me. I’m pregnant and my molester lives on the second floor(Uncle) my aunt and cousins are there. I fear that they’re going to want me to bring the baby down stairs. And honestly I’m going to blow because I don’t want my child to be near a molester. I’ve kept quiet all this time because I’m scared of what it will do to my family. But I feel like I’m putting my own comfort and peace to the side for others. I know that’s wrong but it’s hard. I just don’t want my family to think I’m lying cause it’s going to break me.
