I'm really really worried.

My mum was drunk the other night and she was talking to this man that we knew... and i was there but she didn't see me, and she was really upset and she said that she had been sexually abused when she was young, and she still thinks about it and suffers.

I cried! I don't know what to do! I'm really upset and it is getting me down.

AskEve agony auntThere is absolutely nothing you can do but know that it is now in the past and it will never happen again. If you want to, then talk to your mum about it and ask her what happened. Ask her what you can do to help and let her know that you would certainly tell her if anything like that ever happened to you. What you mustn't do is worry about it. Give your mum a big cuddle and tell her that if she finds it difficult then to go and see a Counsellor and talk about it to them. They will be able to help her come to terms with what happened in her past.

Unfortunately, you caught your mum when she was feeling low, we all have low days and because she'd been drinking it would make her feel more emotional and this is why she's told this friend. Let her know if it still bothers her then there IS help out there for her and let her know that you love her very much and you're always there for her if she ever wants to talk about anything. I'm sure your mum is a strong woman and she'll know what to do for the best.
