Hi, What a nice welcome and to know someone is there. I was abused as a young child, 6 i think when it started and I can‘t remember how old I was when it stopped! Probably 10 or 11. Is that normal to forget something so important? I didn‘t know until recently that he had abused many other people in the family when they were young. if I had known I would have spoken out (I think) but I was too scared as he made lots of threats to me. he was my grandad. I didnt deal with it well when I was a teenager, cutting myself and stuff but thought I had learned to cope by myself. That is until recently when someone found out, confronted him and its now all blown open. I don‘t know where to turn now. I had only told my partner for the 1st time a year ago and only a few details. My partner is very supportive but i need help i no i do. that was the one and only person i ever told. Now tho, it is chewing me up inside at times. especially since I have been told when he was confronted he laughed and listed us saying this one was ok and that one was a fighter and this one was good! Can you believe it? he is not woried anyone goes to police cos he says he will probably be dead by the time it goes to court as he is elderly now. I still want him punished but nobody else in the family wants anything done about it. It has totally blown the family apart. My dad who has only just found out is now very ill and I have been told by someone else he is so ill and in a state about it it would kill him if it continues. So altho I want this thing cos thats wot he is punished I cant now because of my dad. he always pretended to be so holy and went to church all the time. that is how i knew no-one would believe me. but he used lots of threats too. I write loads of leters to him then rip them up. I know there is someone else in the family helping and protecting him for some weird reason and now gets the mail for him. i did send one letter but i dont know if he got it. i have children who are grown up now but i protected them from him never leaving them and always warned them never to trust anyone no matter who if they touch or hurt them in a way they don‘t want. and always to tell me anything that i would alwys believe them and be there for them. now my daughter has told me she will never speak to me again if i go to police because everybody will find out. I hurt like anything at times then it seems to go away then comes flooding back and I find myself crying like a baby! I kep trying to work out things like ages and places and altho i know lots of places some are muddled with my ageat the time and how can this be right because he did not live there when i was that age but i can see it so clearly in my minds eye. is this right? Am I totally losing it. Sometimes I think its a nightmare and it cant have happened cos he was so holy and because i cant put my age correctly. I am so sorry if i have put this in the wrong place.
love, Stardust
Meeeoowww
