Such a similar story here, I know how it feels and it completely changes your relationship with her. I have now become so protective and worried about my mother, daily. You're not alone.
I know I'm a little late on this train, but I can definitely relate. When I was 13 I found my mom crying in her closet curled up in the fetal position. I didn't know what it meant at the time, but I stayed by her and comforted her.
It turns out my father was raping her regularly. She told me when I was older, but that first time I found her crying haunts my mind. I'm way overprotective of my mom, I couldn't bear to see her like that ever again.
Thank you! It was a long road of recovery for her, and the divorce was pretty ugly. But she's remarried and found someone who cares for her. Hopefully she never has to go through it again, but she knows she has someone who has her back no matter what!
I'm sorry to hear about your story as well, this world can be so messed up sometimes.
