How do I tell my mom I was assaulted by her boyfriend?
I was 12 when it happened. 7-8th grade everyday he said hed give me money for school snacks if I hugged him. He was actually groping my boobs. Every day it became more and more shameless and clear what his intentions were. One time he pretended to comfort me because I fought with my sister and he had just full on grabbed it.
It’s been a few years. I haven’t told anyone but my closest friends. He still lives with us. My mom pays full rent and everything on her own, her bf just pays for the water bill and hoa. That’s literally all.
What I’m scared of is her telling me it’s my fault. My mom’s a diehard MAGA, and I’m sorry to say but slightly misogynistic as well. I’m not sure how my mom would react. But it gets worse every day. I’d just finished crying now over it because I hate how it felt and how stupid I was too just let it happen.
I don’t know how to tell her. I plan on telling my older sister first because I KNOW she will help me and 100% be with me. What I’m scared of is that she’ll make a scene before I get to tell my mom at my own pace. So when I tell her I have to tell my mom not any more than a few hours later at most. PLEASE help me. I really don’t know what to do. I want to tell my mom but I’m scared itll hurt her because she’s a single mother who doesn’t get help from my dad at all. Her bf still helps a little bit with money. And my moms talked about suicidal thoughts before too.
Please. Help. Any tips I’d appreciate
