That's what made me wonder in the first place. Wouldn't it be so much easier if my brother hadn't done the things he did? It is probably easier for my mom to say I'm imagining things than to admit she raised a monster like him... or, at least, to even see him as being a monster.

I would think so.

But when I went to the police to finally, after all these years, make a report, she acted like the stereotypical shocked mom who never knew...

That is consistent with the above.

How could she not know? I never stopped telling her!

Just as you said: to know would be to admit that she raised a monster.

But she says she never knew... So I don't know. Maybe I didn't say it right. Maybe she didn't know because of some failing of mine. I just don't know.

As you said above, it is no doubt easier for her to deny than to admit the truth. Like most people, her mind can forget or bury what is too painful to admit. This is one reason for you to trust your perceptions and recollections rather than what she says about hers.
