so um adults and sensible people on here please help me... soo uhh we have(had?) this family friend sort of a person. he's close enough that he sleeps over at our house sometimes. we have know him for approximately 1 year.
one morning, when my mom stepped out for around 30-40 mins, that man came into my room and tried to touch me inappropriately. upon telling my mother about the whole scenario, at first she said she'll immediately cut contact... but then.. she had a conversation regarding this with him he denied ALL the allegations saying "oh.. i just went in to wake her up only touched her feet over the blanket" MAN YOU LITERALLY TRIED TO SEXUALLY HARASS ME WHILE I KEPT SCREAMING AT YOU TO GET TF OUT OF MY ROOM????
my mom believed him.. though he doesn't come to our place anymore, my mom is still in contact with him via calls and stuff. it's really messing up with my head how she can ignore this whole incident, how it triggered my anxiety attacks so bad and just continues to entertain the same man who tried to do I DONT KNOW THE FCK WHAT WITH HER DAUGHTER.
what should I even do in this situation? i literally have no one to even talk to about this irl cause my friends aren't the best option....

Hi im sorry that ur mother is choosing to believe them over you, i think you should really try one more time but if she doesnt then don't worry. Ur story is still valid as ever. Im sorry you went through that and please like what the other comment said, do that. Tell another trusted adult too and friend aswell if ur capable of doing that so u can be more safer and feel more validated.
Hi, I would say when he visits temporarily leave the house or lock yourself in your room as a final resort and never open the door. Try to talk to your mother atleast once a day for a week and try to tell her what happened and how you scared you feel openly... I pray to god she listens to you.
hey, thank you so much for replying..
I've talked to her, I've told her each and every detail about what happened. At first she believed me or atleast she acted like she did, later she talked to him.. and he denied everything... and my mother chose to trust him over me...
