Confronted Mother

I did it.  I confronted my mother with the fact that I am remembering what happened to me as I was growing up.
She thinks that I am making it up so, that I don't have to take care of her anymore.
I wonder if their heads pop off when they admit to themselves that they helped with the abuse?!
I do feel a bit better.  I have some guilt and some apprehension about it.
She told my husband that I was lying.  WHATEVER !!!
all in all it went like I thought it would.  She is in total denial.
 
I would like to see if her head would pop off  !!!!    LOL

My wife told her father over the phone he abused her, and he refuses to acknowledge it. He won\'t deny it but claims he doesn\'t remember. Denial is a very powerful thing. My mother denied her abusive behavior until the day she died. You are lucky. Your mother may never admit it to you, but unless she is a psychopath, it will eat at her. And that\'sall you can do.
