I was molested and raped by my mothers brother. Mom was adopted so he wasn’t a real brother. I am pretty sure he raped my mother too.. He started with me when I was 5 years old and kept it up until I was 11. That’s when I had the strength to fight him. I’ve never told my parents, I did tell my “grandma” who told me to shut up about it or she would never want to see me again. The man himself told me my parents would die if I told anyone. I was really messed up when I was in my twenties, went through years of therapy. The man has luckily died but what he did to me will follow me for the rest of my life.
