      Hi. Yes it’s very difficult to know ow for the best what to do. My boyfriend sees it as me taking sides. I saw it as me keeping the peace.

      I know that the right thing to do is to report my mum. But I still feel I won’t be believed by the police. Plus my mum is very manipulative. She has a way of getting people to believe her. Also I’m worried about my sibling and what it will mean for this sibling if I do report my mum. I’m also concerned that I have no evidence to back up my claim and it will be my word against her manipulation.

      Not only that but the stress of going through all of that and the effects it will have on my daily life. Not sure if I can put myself through that.

      It’s an already difficult situation, made worse by not having a very supportive boyfriend. Who I think is not willing to even try to understand things from my point of view.

      Life’s hard

      Hi

      Well after a recent argument I’ve discovered that I don’t think the relationship is going to last. He isn’t willing to support me at all.

      As for my mother not sure how I will deal with seeing her again. Not spoken to her for a while. I have a sibling I’d like to talk to but I can only have Contact through my mum.

      So I guess I’m on my own. I feel alone right now.

      Hi everyone. Thanks for your responses. Firstly this all started because I asked one simple question. Was he going to come with me if I went to the funeral?

      He then drags up the past. Something I didn’t even know he was upset about. He never mentioned it before. Now all of a sudden it’s an issue.

      Whenever I bring up the subject of my mum he doesn’t listen. Never has done. Don’t know if he just isn’t interested or finds the subject difficult to listen to.

      I have tried to tell him that the reason I didn’t say anything that day to the police is because I was scared and I was trying to keep the peace as I had always done growing up. He just shrugged it off and said he would never let anybody treat him that way and I should stand up for myself or stop complaining about thing. Can’t go into details.

      All he keeps saying is, if it happens again he would want me to be on his side and tell the police what’s going on.

      He is completely missing the point as to why I’m upset. I’m upset because he said I was lying about my past. But since he won’t let me make my point we are just not talking at the moment. Not solving the problem.

      Not sure he wants to solve any problems. He is just fixating on the past.

      Not sure what I should do.
