when i was about 5 or 6 years old, i was sexually abused by my mums brother. i kept the secret until i was sixteen, i never told anyone because i was scared my dad would kill him, and end up in jail. Firstly my mum never believed me, she also didnt tell my dad and she still visits her brother and has never even mentioned it to him(even though she now believes me that it happened). She also speaks about him in front of me as if nothing had ever taken place. I have to say that she told me i should never mention it to the family because they probably wouldnt believe me. He was only about 17 when it happened so am i in the wrong for feeling like i dont care what he is doing with his life right now? I dont hate him i just feel like i have been made to look in the wrong. i am 28 now and i feel like i never had the innocence my children have now. Is it possible to forgive someone without wanting to be "friends" with them?
