I think there is a strong possibility that your mother is in denial about the abuse. I can't say I know for sure, because I don't know your mother. But this is a common reaction of families when this sort of thing happens. My mother was sexually abused by her older brother as children. She never told her mom about it, but her other brother came forward and said, "hey, he did this." The brother who molested her admitted to it fully. My grandmother still downplays and denies it, even though he admitted to it himself! She just can't seem to handle it. Your mom might be doing something similar. I would talk it over with your therapist. Hopefully she (he?) is skilled in working with this sort of thing and can help you sort it out and work through it, even if you're never entirely sure what exactly happened. Memory is tricky that way! One thing to keep in mind is that a therapist knows enough to know how tricky memory can be, and they shouldn't judge you if you think something is a memory and it turns out to be false. Also, therapy is your forum for discussing your feelings with free reign, where you don't have to worry about whether or not you've given your therapist the wrong impression about this or that person. What is important there is not how the therapist feels about your family, but how he or she helps you cope with how YOU feel about them. Good luck!
