I think I witnessed my dad rape my mom

I'm posting this on an alt account because I don't want my primary account being linked to this.

It happened a few years ago. I've never talked about this with anyone before, in person or online, but it's becoming too much to bear and I need to vent for a moment.

I was 14 at the time? Maybe 15.

Growing up, I always thought my family was pretty normal. My parents seemed to have a good relationship, my sister and I had a good relationship with them and with each other. We came from an upper-middle class family, although my parents lived quite frugally, so we didn't have any particular economic problems. In short, life was good and I thought my family was okay.

A few months earlier, dad had been in a bicycle accident. Luckily he didn't get *too* hurt, but he had to wear a cast on his right leg for a while. For this reason he and mom slept on a sofa bed we had in the living room, since all the other available beds were on the ground floor. One particular evening, my sister was at her boyfriend's house and I went down to the living room to watch a movie with Mom and Dad that was playing on TV. I think it was 300. I settled next to them in an armchair. I fell asleep at some point.

I don't know how much time had passed when I woke up, but the movie was over and the TV was off. All the lights were also out, except for a floor lamp in the corner. Dad was on top of mom, kissing her and taking off her clothes. She mumbled something and I thought I heard a "stop." Honestly, I'm not sure.

I was extremely confused and didn't know what to do, so I remained silent and still. She squirmed a little, but he held her until she stopped moving, then he had his way with her. After he finished, he rolled off of her and she ran into the bathroom, staying there for a while, then came back out, laid down next to him, and they fell asleep.

The next day I wanted to ask her what I had seen, but I never got around to it. I wonder if what I saw was rape and if it wasn't an isolated incident.
