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 afraid they would choose their daughter over me, and hate me for what happened.
Tomorrow afternoon, I go back to therapy. So my grandpa decided that tomorrow was the best day. Tomorrow morning, he's going to make a very important phone call to discuss with someone that specializes with special needs people, specifically those that commit crimes.
She is not only a danger to me and the children around her, as my grandparents are very active in church so therefore my aunt is as well, and she goes back into the Sunday school classes. But, I believe she's also a danger to those around her. She has caused over $9,000 in damages as well.
Grandpa has told me several times now to not get my hopes up, and that he doubts they will immediately move her into a group home, which is their main goal for her. But he's also told me its out of their hands because of what she's done, so I'm really not sure what will happen. This is the first time we've ever dealt with anything like this so I don't know the protocol. They may do nothing at all. I'm very scared, and I'm terrified of the unknown.
Tomorrow is also the day that my grandpa and I will be sitting down and telling my grandma all that my aunt has tried to do to me. I'm afraid for this too. She waved off my aunt hitting me as if it was nothing, and I really won't know how to cope with it if she does the same for this.
We came to this decision a few days ago in the car, but it felt so much more hopeful then. I feel so small and ridiculous for trying to bring this up now, years and years later. My grandpa has also told me, "they won't do anything just because you're scared of her. They'll only act if they feel it's necessary to." Of course that makes me feel even smaller, and it doesn't help.
I guess we'll see what happens. I'm scared and worried and almost hopeful all at once. Please be thinking of me, if you're able. This could really make a difference if they decide to help me.
