I Told My Uncle

Postby sabrefly » Sun Oct 30, 2011 3:48 pm

It was a huge step for me and I was pretty scared and nervous but I actually told my uncle what happened to me. The good thing is he believed me and told me to seek help which I am doing. The bad thing is he said no one else would believe me and it's best if I didn't even bother telling them. I know my mother would never believe me because she is completely blind to anything that matters. I pretty much knew my dad wouldn't believe me but it was disconcerning to hear someone else say he wouldn't believe me either. So I guess I've told everyone who I can tell without being banished from the family. I'm scared my uncle may tell my father and then fireworks will start going off. I have no intentions of taking my step father to court or anything like that but I am concerned he is still doing it to someone else. I'm sure there have been other girls who he has touched. I want to expose him for what he is but I'm sure no one would believe and write me off as the "crazy girl" in the family. But sometimes I don't even care who knows or not or if they even believe me. I've carried this around for so long and I'm ready to put it down and put it behind me.

Do you think I did the right thing?

I totally think you did the right thing. It doesn't matter who believes you. You know it happened and a good step to getting better is by telling others. Congratulations on having the courage to do so.

I really think you did the right thing well done. It does sound however like you are worried about the possibility of him doing things to other ppl and unfortunately this puts you in a position where you need to consider telling more ppl and possibly reporting. However this is a really big deal and you have already done a big deal by telling your uncle, plus you are in a vulnerable place so I would suggest thinking carefully about this before taking it further. Well done for telling, I hope it gives you some relief.
