    First of all, I am so sorry about what happened to you. That’s one of the worst things to go through, and I can only imagine what you’re feeling.

    I’ve cut ties with my whole family before due to various reasons, and it honestly made me feel a lot better. I didn’t feel any pressure to constantly text/call them like they wanted, and I just felt free.

    If you’re serious about it, I would suggest blocking them on Facebook (if you have one) and changing your phone number. It seems extreme, but that’s what worked for me. Also keep in mind that, if you have other family with whom your mom is close, she may use them to get to you. My mom did that; she used my brother (who I didn’t remove from Facebook) to see what I was doing, and I ultimately had to block him, too.

    It’s not a bad thing, just be sure that this is what you want before you do it. I’m rooting for you!

    Dear kdizzle:

    I support you in cutting contact with both your step father and mother. Then attend therapy to help you deal with this cutting of contact because it is not easy. I cut all contact with my mother three years ago and wished I did it thirty years ago.

    Your mother’s reaction to your sexual abuse by her husband is completely wrong, offensive and unacceptable.

    Post more, anytime.

    Thank you both! I appreciate your kind words and wisdom.
    I cut ties with her and I feel free, I feel like I’m being honest and real and that I have a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.
    Therapy would be awesome but i just can’t afford it.

    Dear kdizzle:

    Congratulations for cutting contact with your mother. It is the right thing for you to do. If you feel distress over it (even though it is the right thing to do), please post here again, for more “kind words and wisdom”!
