told about an incident i dont remember, what do i do?
i had the realization about two or three years ago that my mom is both verbally and emotionally abusive, and not just to me. i have a stepfather and several stepsiblings and our family dynamic has always been tense and outright miserable for a long time, i can remember really awful fights from when i was younger
anyways, i'm 23 now, am on vacation as a part of my college graduation gift, and have been sharing a hotel room with one of my stepsisters. we had a much needed heart-to-heart about growing up and the things that happened, and she brought up several instances she remembers where my mom had put her hands on me. several involved hitting me with whatever objects were nearby, but one that particularly alarmed me was a time my mom had tried to strangle me. my sister said that she remembers my mom yelling at me in the bathroom, me screaming, and my stepdad trying to pry my mom off of me and screaming to let me go. i have absolutely zero recollection of this, but she also said my other stepsister remembers it as well and that they talk about it from time to time
i guess im hoping for any type of advice on moving forward. i dont remember anything, and i dont want to, but is this even something i can bring up to a professional? i don't even know how to interact with my mom, and our relationship was already very strained from the verbal and emotional abuse i mentioned before. i just feel like a bomb has been dropped on my life
