This is the worst thing I have ever gone through in my life, it is very hard knowing that my dad more than likely hates me now because I refuse to "help" him. I will talk with my therapist about possible resources. Thank you so much:hug:

I was a minor during all of this, my therapist says that they will not incriminate me because of that, but it is still a selfish fear of mine. I am still doing my best to unlearn the behavior I was groomed for, it is challenging doing things for myself because I want to and not because it will...

My problem is distancing myself. My therapist tells me I must do my best to keep things all business with him, no texting back and forth, no reminiscing, no letting him in. I will take your advice, do my best to distance myself, and I will continue to discuss calling the cops on him with her...

Yes, you are very right.. It's just very hard feeling helpless, watching from the sidelines and knowing what the outcome will be. Thank you :hug:

I also have memories that were "blocked out." I feel as if that's our minds doing its best to protect us, but sometimes the fear of not knowing can be more suffocating than knowing. My therapist and I are very close, I've been seeing her since I was in the seventh grade. Even so, I have a hard...

Long story short, my dad is a substance abuser. Anything he can get his hands on really. Pills are his favorite, he drinks a lot, and he talks about heroin as if it were candy you'd buy from the store, aka he sees it as something that's no big deal. We both have health issues, therefore we...

Joey, I'm with them right now :) I'm going to wait a bit more before seriously talking with her though, there's some stuff I need to get done before I would be able to leave

An exit plan is a very good idea. My therapist and I have discussed my options I posted above, but she has told me countless times that I cannot rush out of here with no plan. I'm going to sit and make a list soon, hopefully tonight. Thank you for the idea, and for reinforcing the fact that I...

I just genuinely do not know what to do. It has become nearly unbearable to be here, and it's emotionally painful to even be around my grandparents at this point. I trusted them to protect me and help me and they allowed me to bare everything and then used it against me.

Also, I'm sorry for the confusion :( no one has ever explained the difference to me

I am not for sure if they would go as far as kicking me out, but it would become almost impossible being here. My grandpa has made his decisions that he feels are best for this family, as he is very firm in that he runs this house. If I did anything to disrupt that, especially to that extent...

If I were you, I would inform the landlord and your other roommates. I would also look into something called a portable door lock, there are several on eBay and Amazon.

Eve, I'm no longer a minor. I'm just past the point. Would that still be an option? They would never forgive me.

A few weeks ago, I excitedly informed you all that my grandpa was going to make a few phone calls and we were going to figure everything out together. My grandparents were still upset with how I felt about my aunt, but they seemed to understand. I don't know if they are still pushing to have...

I'm hoping they will care, and that they will know she's done wrong awful things to me, and that I have every reason to be frightened. I hope they help. I don't know how any of this works, but I hope.

I was driving with my grandpa the other day, and things got very emotional. He asked me to relay what had happened the day my aunt had tried to molest me. I've told him before, but I don't think he's ever realized how much it affected me. I never told him until fairly recently because I was...

Mal, it's okay, you didn't know! That's why you asked :) I'm not sure how things work either. My dad is on disability but he's lied to me about everything so I'm sure I have a distorted view of that as well. It's something to look into though!

Mal, I haven't told you guys everything regarding my dad and his girlfriend. Incredibly long story short, I have a spinal disease and I take pain meds. That's where the lying and stealing come in. But she's introduced him to so much more than just stealing from me... My father is also...

Eve, same thing. I will talk with my therapist :) thank you so much for your support:hug::inlove:

Joey, thank you so much for your support. I will talk with my therapist about reporting her or reaching out to the teacher. Thank you:hug:

Freedomfighter, I agree, it shouldn't be this way. I'm so sorry about your father, but the way you stated it it sounds as though you've gotten away from that. Good for you!!!:inlove: I only wish there was somewhere else for me to go. I feel like I'm losing myself being here, they chip away at me...

Joey, I'm not sure if that would be an option. As much as my grandpa is "on my side" it's only to an extent. He gleefully tells me that she's bought me something from the store because she was "thinking about you, like she always does." Gives me chills. Also, they both state repeatedly that...

My aunts diagnosis is "mild mental handicaps and mild autism," I hope that helps answer your question. And I'm not sure if she has annual checkups with her MD, however I know she sees a special Ed teacher from a local high school that helps her with her social skills. That's the closest thing...

I think I'll talk with my therapist before making any calls, however it is something to look into!!

I'm redoing a semester of high school right now, and on top of that I have a spinal disease that is no where near under control and I don't know if I'd want to move out until I know how to manage it better :( so currently college isn't at the top of my list
