When I was in middle school, I was sexually molested by some adults in my family. I've also received death threats & further assaults from one of these people, which police have supported & contributed to more than once.

When I was visibly homeless, I was invited by a Navajo man to visit his place on the Navajo reservation. There have been beings dependent on me staying where I am for survival - and moreso there's basically guaranteed to be a mass-killing if I leave. Otherwise, it's also been the case that there hasn't been a place to sleep that isn't against the rules, and this is being enforced by violence. As of now, the only option for me to sleep & survive is to try migrating elsewhere - to the Navajo reservation, though wandering to Buddhist monasteries/etc. along the way & maybe after. Having police in family - and based on past experience - I would continue expecting unwanted monitoring & unwanted intervention by police and likely family too, even if I'm in the Navajo reservation.

Leaving also doesn't get to the root of the issue, which is cultural & quite widespread. I don't see conditions for a civil, genuine, open discussion on sexual conduct. I think racial delusion, hatred, & arrogance is a blocking issue here.

oh the root is definately cultural, but I feel almost primal in a negative way. A friend was recently telling me about a book theyre reading, written in 300BCE, and in it, is a chapter about "resisting the temptation of young boys" and it's grotesque, and barbaric. I feel the same for war and violence.

I dont understand your situation, and that's okay, I can still say, as the saying goes, one cannot pour from an empty cup. you wont beable to help others effiecently without first making sure you, yourself, are okay, safe and able. It isnt selfish to take care of your own needs on a basic level, prior to helping others. You can't pour from an empty cup.

take care, im sorry your situation is like this. Stay safe
