What is the strangest thing that happened to you that you can’t logically explain?

The strangest thing that has happened to me has to be when I was in a behavioral facility, or at least about to be. Me and my mother were in the waiting room when she was called into a separate room to be spoken to about why I was here. Apparently the woman speaking to her told her that I said I didn't want to go home. (My mother planned on having a family meeting, aka with the people whom abused me).

Anways when she got back, she gave me this look. This absolutely terrified and heart breaking look and said "you don't want to go home?" And for the next 2 hours sobbing and crying right in my face asking why. Than after the long wait we both were brought into another room. There was another woman whom I spoke to alone. I told her about the abuse that happened when I was a little girl, and told her its the main reason why I have suicidal thoughts and had attempted a year back. Then when my mother came in, the woman told my mother "your daughter is extremely depressed and in my opinion should be kept here for her safety"

Than my mother said " but why? Why is she depressed?" The woman went on to say "well I've been told there has been abuse taking place at home when she was younger?" And than my mother's whole attitude changed. In an instant. Her face went blank, and she said "what abuse?" The woman then said "sexual abuse..." than my mother replied "is there any proof?"

That was the moment where I was left confused, and in a behavioral facility all alone for 3 days with the words "is there any proof " just after 2 hours of her crying and telling me she loves me and wants me to come home.

Keep in mind, she already had knowledge of the abuse happening. She just didn't do anythung about it when I told her. It wad by far the strangest thing to me. How could you go from saying you love me and will protect me, and wanting me to go home, to completely changing your whole self and denying what actually happened?
