Trauma Caused By Lots

[trauma reasons post]

I feel lost right now. My ptsd was caused by several occurrences. I was neglected and taken off my mum when I was 6 because she was an alcoholic only to be given to my physically and mentally abusive dad. To get away from him I stayed at my sisters a lot but things got worse when her boyfriend at the time sexually abused me. I finally gained the courage to tell my dad about my sisters boyfriend when I was 9, it had gone on for years and I was too scared to tell anyone. I got away from my dad at 12 and went to live with my mum again. Things were finally better I had got away from everything and my mum was fine now.
I found out a few days ago that one of my favourite uncles has been arrested for sexual abuse of a child and a jury named him guilty. None of my family beleive its true and there was no sufficient evidence found whatsoever they just took the mothers side. I feel like everything has got back into my head and I can't stop thinking about everything I feel so I'll knowing my uncle is an innocent man who has been locked up with paedophiles and murderers. I feel like its bought the past back for me and I can think of nothing else anymore. I feel very alone as only my partner knows about my ptsd and he doesn't understand how I feel and keeps suggesting maybe my family have it wrong. The child is now 16 and he sat in front of my uncle and read his statement. I could never sit and look at the man who had done that to me and this boy after my uncle was sent down was stood outside just laughing. I don't understand any of it and I can't even talk about how I feel to anyone I know.

Thank you both its really driving me mad. Im sorry to hear that CWD thank you. I feel sick ever since I was told about my uncle. This was his exs sister who kept making passes at him then told his wife that they'd been having an affair when he had done nothing. She left him and got with another man fairly quick and even has pictures of this new man in bed with her and her sisters other children on social media. If she really thought it of my uncle who she had been with for over 20 years how could she trust this man when she's only known him for 1-2 years. I feel like its all about revenge for them I can't believe a jury would beleive her lies. My whole family have cried about it but the only time I cried was when I saw my nan the other day..she's not been eating properly and had said if he goes to prison it would kill her. That has stayed in my mind too. I feel like I'm numb almost and just going through shock. Its bought back how I felt when everything was going on all those years ago. I was terrified about things that could happen to my mum and now I can't stop thinking of my nan. I feel like I can't breathe half the time.

Sorry his ex wife's sister made passes and her son is now 16 and he and his mum are the ones who have accused my uncle. My uncles wife trusts this new man with her neices who are young to be laying in bed with her and this man. I can't understand or make sense of anything at all I feel sick every day worried about my nan and other family. My uncle was ill already and I'm worried about what prison could do to him.
