Applesauce19, I am truly, truly sorry for what you've experienced. It WAS the weekend from Hell.
Not to excuse your mother's actions, but she is living in what is called, "denial." She knows the truth, she knows that she cannot change the truth, and she also knows that ignoring the truth has caused the "bad person" to be able to harm other people. Denial is very ugly and it causes people to make very stupid choices and decisions.
What YOU are experiencing is likely Post Traumatic Stress. You've had a terrible experience, you haven't been "allowed" to talk about it, no action was ever taken to resolve what was done to you, and it's too much for anyone to handle. PLEASE, if you have any services available where you live, seek out some counseling therapy. Asking for counseling does not - does not - mean that we are crazy or that something is wrong with us! It means that we do not have the tools and information on how to manage what we're experiencing.
If we have a water pipe break, we call a plumber. If there's a leak in our roof, we call a roofer. If we don't have the tools and information to manage Post Traumatic Stress, we contact someone who DOES.
My brightest healing blessings to you, Applesauce19. If you were in front of me, I would hold you tight and tell you that you are valuable and precious to this Universe and that you deserve (DESERVE) unconditional love and support.
Applesauce19, I understand what you're saying, but this is about your life. Not just the emotional aspects, but your physical well-being, too.
There are two options available to you: talk to someone ASAP, or don't. If we make the choice to choose not to get help, then whatever happens to us from that moment on is our own responsibility - we cannot blame the actions of another person on our condition or situation simply because we are fully aware that we need assistance and we're refusing to take steps.
I used to base ALL of my decisions and choices on my fears. Because of that, I ended up in a legal binding contract of marriage with an abusive sociopath. When I ended that marriage, I entered in to another one that was just as abusive but without the beatings, rape, and threats at gunpoint. FEAR was the driving force during my 1/2 century of living. I would urge you to face down your own fears and get the help that you need so that you don't end up like I did.
Brightest blessings to you.
Jhamapat, if you don't know why this poster panics, then count yourself blessed. What you term as "panic" is a physiological and emotional reaction called, "anxiety," and what Applesauce is describing fits the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
So, if you "don't understand," you are truly blessed
