I need to know how to deal with guilt trips family members put you on...
Back a few months ago, I told my T something that he had to legally report that involved child safety with my family in another state and a primary abuser.

The state checked on things but ended up taking no action. In fact, my abuser took and passed a three hour lie detector test which basically told my family that I was the liar. ((Of course they would not listen to the fact that a sociopath characteristic is that they ARE ABLE to pass a lie detector test!))

Anyway, my nieces are now having issues with school - and I know it is because they have so much instability that it is making things very hard on them. But my mom decided she was going to say it was all because they had child protection called out! She knows it was my T who made the call because the stupid agency said it was reported by someone out of state and we a very small family structure.

Anyway, bottom line is she basically just handed me a huge pile of guilt and suddenly all this is now MY FAULT! ??? !!!!

I know the truth about this, but I need to know how to not FEEL the guilt others in the family pin on you?
