Maybe she is finding it hard to understand and deal with and that is why she is blaming you. She could also be taking it out on you because she blames herself for not spotting that you were having issues. It all really depends on what the circumstances were.

I hope that things work out.

Take care.

Hello Lynsey

It sounds like your mum does not understand about child abuse and may be having difficulty accepting that you have been abused. This reaction is not unusual when you first disclose that you have been abused.

It is important that you understand that you are not responsible for the abuse. You are also not responsible for a person's response to your disclosure of abuse. You have not done anything wrong.

Lynsey you are strong. Stay strong. You are a survivor. You are incredibly brave. Give your mum time and perhaps some space to. You take care,

So sorry to hear that your mum has reacted this way. Unfortunately some people do tend to blame the victims for abuse that takes place, rather than blaming the perpetrator, but I don't understand why this happens. Maybe you and your mum need a bit of space away from each other at the moment (as she doesn't seem able to deal with this new information about things that happened to you). Is there any chance of you both getting a bit more space from each other, or do you live together?

Not what you're looking for?
