" You were SO right to tell on your abuser...I'm sorry that your mother's view of all this is so screwed up and that she wants to protect him instead of you :-( That just breaks my heart. Thinking of you and wishing you peace (((HUGS))) "

" Just reading this post and I am so sorry for the way your mom just
asks for it to act like it was nothing, basicly protecting him from jail
because of aunt and grandma, hell with that what is she thinking?

Im so glad you will not be staying there.You have a safe and fun 4th.
Big Hugs Girly :) "

" Hi! I understand your feelings completely. I t doesn't seem fair that you should be put in the predicament of having to even make this decision. If your mom is one of the people you told she should not be suggesting you sleep over. It seems she shopuld be protecting you from the abuser and any fall-out from telling. If she is not one of the people you told - make her one! Please don't put yourself in any danger or in an awkward situation because others can't do their part! (no offense at all to your mom) "

" Wishing for things "to be the same" doesn't make it so. Things ARE NOT the same. Listen to your inner protector. You already know the answer.

You're simply hoping that someone else will take the responsibility to tell you things WILL BE the same, so when shit goes horribly wrong, you can blame them. Not trying to be mean, but in my life experience, that's how co-dependent people like me think. And your statement seems very much in line with what I've seen other co-dependent people make.

My two cents? Don't go. "
