Like I said above, it was three years ago and I am now in a great relationship with my new partner who treats me with the upmost respect- doesn't push me for sex, helps me around the house etc- and it's great. However, after my ex used me like that, even though it was one time it was enough for me to feel violated, I now suffer from nightmares and intense panic attacks after having flashbacks. I am over that relationship but this part of it stays with me despite that.
Now, I finally had the courage to tell my mother about it after seeing the little sh*t on our mother-daughter date. She more or less shrugged it off and told me to move on, even though I have moved on from the relationship but not the trauma, and said that everyone has sex when they don't want to. Not going to lie, that really hurt because I don't open up easily and our relationship is rocky at times because of how I grew up and what my parents are like. I'm seeing a therapist now but how do I truly let it go?
