I was abused by an aunt from the ages of 6 months - a year and a half. My mother told me about it just before I turned 19, I am now 21. Don’t know how many times / all the details. Im currently not speaking to my mother as I can’t look her in the face without being hurt, angry and disappointed.

I told my mother today that I have made a report to the cops about it and I’m talking to the special unit for historical child abuse and her response was “I hope your meeting goes as well as it can”

I can’t tell if I’m expecting too much but I wanted her to be proud of me. I wanted her to approve of me being brave and strong enough to report it and try and stop it from happening to others.

Am I just expecting too much?
