My Step father molested his daughter, my half sister, from her age 10-15. I put him in jail. Took a few times trying to get us out of there before I was sucessful. Boy was his family mad I got his face in the news. My sister credited me with saving her life. He only did 8 years in prison.
People who harm children piss me off the most.
I hope youre alright today and have healing with you
I have a similar family member who only did 8 years as well. Disgusts me how some act like it never happened.
I'm still gaslight, verbally abused, censored, & assaulted for having been sexually molested. Being gaslight, verbally abused, & censored, assaulted is very common for me. Police permit & contribute to it too.
can you ditch your fucking family!? I ditched mine. Life got much better from there. I chose to be homeless over dealing with them, still better.
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
