Stepdad issues

Question

A year and a half ago my stepdad tried to get me to touch him and I told my mom 6 months ago and she doesn't believe me. She thinks I'm crazy and sick. She doesn't want to be a single mother so I figure that's why she's in denial but I don't know how to get her to believe me. She sent me to live with my aunt and she moved with him and I am being punished for what he did. I need help. How do I get her to believe me?

its sad but this issue is not you. Sometimes a parent would not want to think their significant other or spouse would do anything and in other cases they are angry or even jealous with the child/teenager. A good friend of my moms talked to me about how she could not forgive her mother for saying she was a **** her stepdad touched her when she was about 10 and her mom still blames her she's 47 years old. I've known several friends in abusive homes so yes its normal to wanna talk it out at least with someone. What your stepdad did was a crime you can report to CPS about it I remeber as a child I was about 11 when I told a therapist that my best friend had been molested by a family member he had to call them. Then my mother bought me a book about rape and all the ways in which it occurs
there are some teen hotlines you can call and they recommend certain places what I would suggest is support group for those who have been sexually abused hell you could even start one on here if no profession your parents or family won't listen to you as I can understand this is the type of thing that tears families apart.

is your daddy still around can you talk to him.  you should not have to live in that situation.  tell your grandparents dont let him get by with this,  this is wrong.  it is not your fault at all.  there are so many men that marry for the womans children.  they need to be stopped.  if you have a recorder  tape it if he comes on to you again.  your mom will have to believe you.  god bless you.  take care.  mandy876

Dear Kiwilove,  it might be the safest place for you right now away from the situation & this horrible man. 
  You're 18 right? Time for your future. Plans to go to college? Peace Corp? Get your mind on you. 
If you belong to a church, make an appointment with the pastor. At school get in to see the councilor.  
  If you enjoy being in a group, go to Jazzercise or other sports at park & recreation gym. Basketball, volleyball & ping pong. 
   It's sad that some adults act this way. It's not a reflexion of you, remember that.  Be a kind, decent person.  Pamela
