Q: I was abused by someone in a religious sect when I was a child. I tried to tell my mom, but she didn't believe me.
After finding out about sex abuse laws, I again tried telling my parents about my past abuse. But they said all of the victims are liars, which means they think I'm a liar. How can I get them to believe me?
A: Sadly, if your parents are/were involved with that religious group, they’re refusing to accept that you could’ve been harmed by anyone who held their same belief system.
