At the very least it was inappropriate. And forget the label of abuse or not. It's really about how it made you feel. I had a similar traumatic experience from my mother and she used it as a way to control and humiliate me. Was it sexual? I don't know. Was it about power, just like abuse and rape? Most certainly.

Focus on how it made you feel, not putting a label on it.

I feel like I understand your confusion and guilt or shame about this experience. Feel free to message me if you need to talk.
