When i was 11 years old (during covid time maybe 2019-2020 i was in the 6th grade) my step brothers came home from texas and we decided to have a sleepover in their room since we hadn’t seen each other in over 3-4 years. the oldest raped me in my sleep while his brother and my sister was in the room playing games on their second xbox. His brother pulled him off of me when he saw what was going on and made sure he wasn’t anywhere near me afterwards.

The morning after this happened i told my mother and step father what happened, i was called a liar and told i only wanted to ruin his son’s reputation and break my parents up. My mother “protected me and my sister” by not allowing us in their room anymore but still accused me of lying like my step father did.

My mother (around maybe 6 months later of the incident) said that she never accused me of lying and i was making things up in my head (i remember them saying i was lying because they questioned all 3 of them, one of them got my sister to lie about what happened. but after i was forced to apologize to him for “lying on his name” and wasn’t allowed to eat dinner for the night)

My step brother would be weirdly touchy with me and him and his sibling would steal stuff out my room (i saw a pair of my dirty underwear on the bed of the one that did those things to me because i was sent to get them for dinner.) His brother would steal my headphones, phone charges, and sometimes the money i had in my wallet.

This was happening when i was going through puberty!! (i would also like to add my mother has been raped before..) They would lock me and my sister in the bathroom, The oldest i caught trying to watch me pee because the door was cracked (i remember it was cracked because i was holding my pee due to the fact we were riding in the car)

There is a lot of incidents that have happened and my mother and step father didn’t do anything about it really. About a year or two later i was still suffering with the trauma and fear because of what happened and my mother wouldn’t get me into therapy. Around the begging or the end of the year 2023 my step father apologized for what his son did and it made me cry that he didn’t believe me and neither did my mother until his son did those things again.

I am now almost 17 and i still suffer with the trauma of these events but im always grateful it was me that got the worst and not my sister. My mother still do this day denies that she has any part in me not being able to heal properly and often says that it’s my fault for what happened to me.

A few days ago during a therapy session my mother was monitoring (my therapist requested it so she could see my progress she wasn’t allowed to speak or she would be removed) I brought up all these events and my mother began to yell, scream, and cuss me out saying i’m making her look like a bad mom and it makes me feel like all of this is my fault…i never wanted this to happen to me or anyone else but it also sucks that i’m being blamed for something that i couldn’t control…I told my mother if she had gotten me the help i needed when i needed it i wouldn’t be feeling guilty about these things and that she neglected the fact to protect me and my sibling when these events were happening.

so AITAH?
