Something like SA is so intensely personal--I do not understand why people would talk to anyone about this except for you.... How are you doing?
I think my mom called my ex because she wanted him to corroborate the story. Of course, that's me, thinking she didn't believe it. Which is exactly why I didn't tell her when it happened 20 years ago.

He didn't know anything about it, so whether she believes it or not I don't know. I don't talk to my mom, and won't, so she was probably right in thinking that she would get more info from him than from me.

I just won't talk about it, with any of them. I called my T when it first happened and I was pretty freaked out, but she reminded me that I don't have to talk to them. I don't have to do anything about it, or have anything to do with it.

My sister has left a couple of messages apologizing. I'll talk to her, eventually, but not right now.
