Has taken me years to understand and remember that had happened to me i was a toddler when I was abused. The knowledge and behaviors don't just pop up out of nothing or just a conversation. Memories from those early years are hard to get at and hard to deal with and your mother wouldn't be the first parent to be in denial. It is also possible that you were sounding out mom with that story and found that she was not someone you could tell about the abuse.

Whatever the truth is, something happened or you wouldn't have the signs of it. If the memories were not accurate they are still your memories and you needed to deal with them. I can't imagine a better person to help you with them than your therapist.

Be patient with yourself and the process. Be sure to fill your therapist in on your mother's comments and your feelings about them.

Love in Him,
