Hi Dark Angel,

I agree with the others. The events that we can understand and share here at PC are often too frightening for other people. Maybe your Mum was just scared and upset and wasn't able to take on board the depth of your struggle.

If she is scared, it might be best for you to draw as much comfort and strength as you can from those who can help, and try not to focus too much on negative thoughts about your Mum (I know it's not easy).

Also your Mum might be feeling responsible for what has happened to you, and there will be all sorts of guilt and denial going on there.

Any chance of getting some family therapy from a professional?

Good thoughts, M
