How do I tell my Mom that my ex used to molest me? She thinks that "we'll see each other again" I don't want to actually I dread it. I haven't seen him since I was 16 but still I don't want him around ever just in case.

I can understand how you don't want to see him, but don't let your fear run your life. If you see him, and he tries to speak to you or touch you, you look right at him and say, "You need to keep your hands to yourself because if you try and touch me, EVERYONE will know what you used to do to me when we were going together."

Actually avoiding discussing this with your Mom is the worst thing you can do here.  We all make mistakes and need someone to talk to about these things and Parents are your best options. Parents do NOT come capable of mind reading so your Mom may be able to tell something is wrong, she cant tell why or the details. There is no shame here telling her and I don't blame you here for your feelings but you really do need to tell her as this guy will only get worse as he gets older and we sure don't want him to take his aggressions out on you because you didn't say anything and your Mom will understand!!  Good luck

I think you need to tell your mother. And let her know that you don't want to see this man ever again.
