"you Did It To Yourself"

She sounds very much like my grandmother. My grandmother didn't say that regarding my abuse but she did regarding other things that weren't my fault. As far as my abuser, she is in total denial that her perfect precious baby boy could do any wrong. She has bailed him out of jail for drug offenses. Makes sure he never goes without while telling me that she doesn't ever worry about how I am doing because she knows I can take care of myself.

When I asked he to write me an apology letter she sent a quote 'love does not keep account of injury'
That is pure narcissistic manipulation right there. She expects you to give her a free pass and love her when she hasn't modeled the same for you?
 
When I told my mother that my sisters husband sexually assaulted me and I couldn't have him at the house (we were living with my mom at the time) for my own emotional well being.

She looked at me and said, "why do you let it affect you?". REALLY? my mothers a bitch.

I feel your pain.
 
When I told my mother that my sisters husband sexually assaulted me and I couldn't have him at the house...

That is not a mother. That is pure coldness, no heart is there, no empathy. And she will never change, best to be divorced from her. She is creepy, really, write a book about this, you definitely have the material to write a scary book.
 
@aut555 I don't know why but when I read what you wrote, it made me laugh. I have many adjectives to describe my mom...creepy has never been one of them but I may add it to my repertoire.

We call her, "hostile rabbit" from the movie deep water horizon.

You are right she has no empathy for what he did to me...I still hold a lot of anger about that.

Thanks for putting a smile on my face :). maybe we should call her: CREEPY hostile rabbit.
 
Has anyone else been told you did it to yourself when they were diagnosed?
Sure. People are afraid of what happened to me (a sudden and decisive crash and burn on all levels). They don't want it to happen to them. They don't want to know that these things are not due to a 'lack of moral fibre', but could strike anyone at any time. So they make up a story. And they blame the sufferer.

Who wants to believe that this can happen to them? It is much easier to kick around a PTSD sufferer than it is to face one's own fears that this too, could happen to them.
