Summary
Based off this Glee Angst Meme prompt
So, Kurt's mother is always written as a model of sainthood...inspiring his interest in music, being the perfect accepting parent...but what if she wasn't actually that good of a person but was actually abusive to Kurt?Burt doesn't know about this abuse because Kurt doesn't want to spoil his good memories of her...and Kurt himself is very confused as to how he feels about his mother, who was sometimes caring, sometimes abusive, and who died when he was quite young (not exactly sure when this was). But a small part of him is just a little glad that she died, though mostly he feels guilty about harboring this thought, even though he was abused...
So maybe it's the anniversary of his mom's death and the glee club members get wind of it. There's a lot of misplaced sympathy and "are you all right?"s, which make Kurt feel increasingly uncomfortable until he ends up confessing the truth about his mother to one of the gleeks.

Summary
Karofsky did the opposite of getting out of Kurt’s face. His giant hand held Kurt’s face towards his own as he kissed him. Kurt froze, unable to comprehend what was happening, until Karofsky leaned in again. Then Kurt pushed him, scrambling backwards, hand covering his mouth so if Karofsky tried again it wouldn’t be against his lips. This was when it happened, Kurt thought. The fear felt familiar, too familiar, memories from decades prior were making themselves known to Kurt’s body as his bully hit the locker and left. Kurt couldn’t move.
His mom had held him against her, had kissed him on the mouth. “I’m doing this because I love you, my sweet boy.” Kurt didn’t know when that had happened, only the ghost of the words echoed in his ear as he slowly left the locker room, feeling tainted.
In the hallway, he spotted his phone, the word Courage making a mockery of Kurt. How could Kurt have courage? He would end up held in place, a body for those stronger than him to do what they wanted with. Kurt should have never let himself be angry, should have treated Karofsky like a force of nature that couldn’t change.
