How else do I start this? I saw my therapist yesterday. We talked about sexual assault, my feelings, and my fear of talking to my family. So while in therapy I reached out to an uncle and my younger sister. By the time I got out of therapy they had both answered, and we caught up. 
My therapist also said I should talk to my mom about my past. I thought if I told her some of it she'd leave me... But the talk did make me want to talk to my mom in general. So today we got in touch, and everything just spilled. I told her about my suicidal past, sexual assaults, my dad, my fear of my stepmom. There were a lot of conflicting stories surrounding my stepmom... But we told what we remembered. Turns out my mom wanted to know it all. And she still loves me. We were both about to cry at the end. 
And on top it off my sister and I started talking about our dad. This was the first time we spoke of him since we lost him. 
My mom asked if I talked to my Dad about the threats from my stepmom. I told her the time Dad caught her trying to punch me. How I was scared to say anything else. That a similar incident happened with a husband of hers. And I was scared. Pouring my soul out felt so good. 💖
