To make a long story short my uncle molested me when I was like 7 and I told my aunt and she told me not to tell anyone because he would go to jail. Now many years have past he is dead, but not my aunt and I can't stand being around her!!!! My family knows about it and are not very supportive, and can't understand why I don't like her. They try to push me to be around her, except my mom she's not like that. But this is the only way I can really get my feelings out, I am seeing a therapist. Is there something wrong with me, that I don't want to be around my aunt? because they make me feel like it is me with the problem, i just don't know anymore, and it is really bothering me.

Oh sweetie no, there is nothing wrong with not wanting to be around your aunt. She made you feel guilty for something that her husband did. She was looking out for her best int rest not yours. And that is what matters. It's high times that you start thinking about your life and your needs. And forget what the family wants from you. Remember there is a difference between
wants and needs. It is a hard lesson to learn. But when you realize the difference, decisions are a whole lot easier to make.
Good luck in life

You have a right to your feelings. I'm sorry that you couldn't have your uncle put in jail where he belonged. Shame on your aunt for making a seven year old bear such a big burden. Good for you for seeing a therapist. Do what is best for you and do not let other family members make you feel uncomfortable. I hope things get better for you soon.
