How do I tell my mother that I was mollested my freshman year of high school? It's been four years..?

I never told ANYONE before this year because it took me that long to admit that it even happened. I've come to terms with it, I think. I'm ready for it to not be a secret. How do I tell her?

Update:

I feel like I just need to tell her.. I feel like everyone needs to know actually. Everyone thinks I'm this strong girl and that nothing has ever happened to me. And I've had a lot of people come to me since I came out of the closet for advice and friendship and when they just need someone to talk to. I want people who I know that have went through what I did to know that it's okay and that I'm there for them.. But considering my mom was right downstairs when it happened, I feel awful that she doesn't know..

    With the total lack of details, I can't answer except to say if it didn't seem necessary then, why present it now, addling her mind with a muddle of irrelevancies? That is, unless there are advisable punitive and/or corrective measures that can be taken.

  • Hmmm... I feel the need to ask if your name is Leeanne because this pretty much describes her situation. But if your not ask someone you trust to be around when you do it because it can be scary I'm sure. Its nothing to be ashamed of just breath and tell her when you're ready. Keep your chin up and best of luck to you :)
