That was a seriously crap thing that she did. Why tf would she think ur joking about something like that. If I were in that situation I'd tell her i would never joke about something like that and that and that I'm dissapointed in her for believing that I would. As a mother shes supposed to be on ur side ESPECIALLY at times like these. If she wants to be an arsehole about hit she can deal with me ignoring her for the rest of her life. ( sorry this just triggered me so bad. Idk ur mom but I hope she understands that what she did was shit)
You're definitely NOT being overdramatic. I'm sorry about your mom. I'm also have trauma because of sexual assault. It's my own cousin, he is literally 10 years old, I'm 15 years old, and trying subtly to touch my junk. Because of that I can't stand it if there are young boys around me until now. I don't even go near my own nephew eventhough they're harmless.
I hope you're okay. I hope you can get your mom understand you. If she is not, I hope that you sharing it in here will makes you feel a bit better.
Sadly, many times parents for whatever reason decide not to believe their kids. Maybe it’s. It out of malice, but either way those doubts hurt.
And no, being scared and traumatized after being sexually assaulted is not being dramatic. It’s a very normal reaction to have.
For many years I was terrified of being in the same room as a male. I’ve gotten better now, but it took a good 15 years and some therapy to finally be able to be alone with a man and not want to run away.
You are not being Dramatic ,it is an issue and it should be taken seriously too. I think talking to someone who takes it seriously might help your trauma a little.Maybe our replies might reassure you that how you feel because of this is totally normal.
I send you lots of love and support!!(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Take care~
you are NOT being overdramatic in any way. i am so sorry that your mom is invalidating your trauma.
not being overdramatic. its not okay and she should always take you seriously.
You definitely aren't being dramatic. You have every right to be upset about that. You have every right to feel hurt or traumatized. I'm sorry your mother can't see that, but her lack of understanding doesn't reflect on you in any way. It's a terrible thing to go through, especially at such a young age. If you ever need anyone to talk to in here.
Girl no. F your mom.
That was a lil rude but srsly f ur mom. She should of been there for you and supported you and automatically believed you wether there was evidence or not. Period.
Of course not, I'm sorry that happened to you and it's awful that your mom didn't believe you
