I need help mentally coping with the betrayal I feel for my mom. Since I was 18, her husband (my stepdad) has been sexually harassing me. He has sent me tons of texts that are flirty or outright sexual (but phrased in a way where he could say he didn’t mean it that way). He has touched me inappropriately many times. This has gone on for 13 years. I’ve avoided him in many ways. Moving in with friends and other family. I learned very negative coping mechanisms that delayed my success in life to where I am just now on a good path at 30. I put off telling my mom about her husband until I got into therapy and was talked into telling the truth. I did and she made excuses for him. She didn’t react like I thought she would. I am very taken aback by her blowing the whole thing off, and I feel very betrayed. I don’t know how to cope. What do you suggest? I live with both of them and can’t afford to move out, but I’m in nursing school so I will soon be able to be independent. I am happy to provide more details if you have questions.
