a minster in a flood said God would save him.
People came in a boat and offered him help, but no, God would save him.
People came in a canoe, but no, God would save him.
People came in a helicopter, but no, God would save him.
The flood waters rose and he drowned.
In heaven he asked God why he hadn't saved him...
and God said, "I sen you a boat, a canoe and a helicopter, what more did you need?"

the point being, maybe God's way of helping you is through the T? Maybe your mom would understand if you explained it that way. Although, from the other things you say, i doubt it. She feels threatened, for whatever reason. Perhaps she is a victim of the media input, which for a very long time seemed to portray everyone's problems as leading back to the mother (hence the classic joke "tell me about your mother"). My mother is a tad paranoid about things like that... we're not supposed to tell people anything about the inner workings of our family.

i don't know.. she could simply be being mean.

my T says therapy isn't about feeling good... it's about getting better. Working through abuse is painful and takes a lot of strength to see it through. You have done a good thing for yourself in recognizing what you need when others obviously do not.
