Sexually molested by mom

Hi I was sexually molested by my mother when I was ~5-10 years old. I don’t remember it entirely, and honestly, I forgot that it happened until recently. The only reason that I remember is that a few months ago, my mom invited herself over to my house and noticed that she was sitting way too close to me, then she lay her head next to my crotch as we were sitting on my couch.

I was basically hanging off the edge of the couch. I was uncomfortable the whole time. Then she leaned up and said, “It’s hot in here, I’m going to take off my shirt.”

I immediately jumped up and went into the kitchen. She noticed that reaction and kept her shirt on. She says that she’s going to leave, but stays for an extra hour and a half. (Also, on a prior visit, she kept rubbing on my thigh)

After she left, I reflected on that encounter, and it reminded me of the sexual things we’ve done when I was a child.

I don’t want to see her ever again, but she lives close by. I fear that she would just randomly show up at my house. I’m on her phone plan, but I want to change my number soon.(It’s going to suck letting all my contacts know and changing my 2FA phone numbers)

She also has access to my bank account. I have another one that I switched my direct deposits to, and once the money runs out on my current account, it should automatically close for inactivity.

I want to move far away from her. But my credit is bad. I own a home with $35k in equity. I got $30k in savings, and I will be leaving my job soon.

Can someone tell me if I’m missing anything?
