Thank you all that responded to my last post on how to go about telling my mom about my diagnosis.

It did not go well and I don’t mean that in a dramatic way but she ended up making the conversation about herself and asking if I can “fix” it.

I shared about how my psychiatrist explained that I was being groomed by my 4th grade teacher &amp; how the nature of my relationship with him was not normal at all. I also told her I can’t say for sure that he did “something” to me. I’m sure you can guess what i’m trying to imply here.

He was arrested a few years ago for getting caught r**ing a child, several had came forward as well. My mom knows this.

Oddly enough, right before he was arrested i ran into him and his wife at a mall. I remember watching him watch this little girl in this store and that’s when I knew.

I didn’t know what to expect from my mom but her reaction was to avoid responsibility and say “why didn’t you tell me what was going on back then?”

I was a child.

I don’t believe it should be my responsibility as a child to tell my mom when an adult is being inappropriate.

I tried to tell her more about my diagnosis and she just turned the convo about herself and how when i was little she was “possessed”.

I left once she got distracted by my nephew.

I was sad but it is what it is.

I’m sorry if this post isn’t linear or as organized as it could’ve been.

I have a lot to say but i’ll save it for later posts.

Thank you for your support.
