Do your parents know about the sexual traumatic experiences you’ve experienced?

Every few years, i tell my mom something thats happened because i dont feel like she can handle it all at once. Plus i fear she’ll run into my exes and try to attack them. And i just dont want her to ever approach them cause i know some have joined gangs now and i just want us to remain safe.
In 2020, i told her about the situation with the ex holding a gun to my stomach and trying to make me stay. It broke her heart and she couldnt believe I never told her. Because she kept inviting the dude over for me to get bacj with him.
Well just now i told her about that same ex trying to make me suck him and that i bit him down there to escape. And that when i ran into the house to get away that he chased me and tried to choke me to death. And that she broke it up without even realizing we werent “playing around.”
I also told her about another ex who was raped by his babysitter and then threatened to rape me one day. She freaked that i was raped by a babysitter too bt i had to explain that wasn't the case.
Now she's gone off and is very emotional. She just keeps saying “and to think you were the type who’d tell your mom everything.” But she just doesn't realize, I’ve kept every and anything thats sexual from her. I keep trying to prepare her for the biggest fckup in my life. But I dont think i can ever tell her how my virginity was taken. I just may have to take that one to the grave.
But yea do your parents know about any sexual trauma you may have experienced?

I only talk about these things so openly now because i’ve fully recovered. The toughest experiences were in 2009/10. A few others were in 2019. I forgive quickly. However i dont allow myself to ever forget. So i like to share my experiences and hope it can help others going through it too. I've never let my experiences hold me back from moving on to a new relationship. And i still trust easily. I dont even keep my guard up but i do prepare for worse case scenarios. Everyone can in time 🙏

  • I was sexually harassed by my own uncle when I was 12-14 y/o. That was already 15 years ago. I didn't even realized that he tried to do bad things to me until I was in my early 20s where I've done some reading on the internet and watching some sexual trauma on movies, I begin to realized I was harassed by my own uncle only when I reached my 20s, how ignorant that I was.

    l didn't tell anybody especially my mom because I don't want to ruin their family relationship. Only when I was 25 y/o, I begin to share the experience with my besties because I can't bare it any longer since my PTSD effects getting worse - can't sleep at night, getting nightmares and sleepwalking. But never to my family, no I would never tell them ever. Luckily my boyfriend know this and patiently help me to cope with it.

    • I think you won't fully heal til the family jnows how fcked up that uncle is

  • My mom knows of 1 that occurred to me as a child

    • Im glad you shared that moment with her

  • Yes!

    • How did they react

    • They supported me, and we got the person locked up.

    • Well thatsbgood
