I'm so sorry this happened to you, my mom reacted pretty much the same way, all 3 times I tried to tell her. Is there anyone else you could try? I eventually learned to keep it to myself, but I wouldn't suggest that for too long. Maybe try the school counselor once school starts? They would have to tell her, but they might be able to give you some credibility. Where I live, it's legal for a minor to see a therapist for a certain number of sessions without parental consent, but I don't know if it would be the same where you are.
