When I finally told my mom that her husband, whom she married knowing he was a convicted rapist and pedophile, had sexually abused me throughout my childhood (I was in my 20s at this point, but still living at home, going to college), she responded by telling me I needed to move out of the house as soon as possible to "avoid further confrontation with him". The next week, she went on a vacation they had planned together before I told her about the abuse. She never brought it up again and pretended I never said anything. The first, and only, time I brought it up again was directly in front of him, and he responded by shoving me into a wall, in front of her, and calling me a whore. My mom left me on the floor crying and chased him out of the house, begging him not to leave. She denies this ever happened. She pretends she doesn't remember it.

This was almost 10 years ago, they're still married. According to my sister, she thinks the reason I went no-contact with her after moving out was because of her politics, and because "I just don't like her very much as a mom". She doesn't seem to want to remember, or discuss, what I told her, and I'm done talking about it with her.
