Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
Have you told your mom? Are you afraid to tell her? I imagine it will be very painful for both of you if you do, but this is not something that can be swept under the rug. If you don't feel comfortable talking to your mom maybe you could start by talking to a counselor at school or a trusted teacher or other trusted adult. You should not be left to handle this on your own.
I think your stepbrother may also be very troubled by this and would benefit from talking to someone.
