Past coming back

[Lookingforhope20100]

I saw someone from my childhood today. I thought he was going to be out of my life for good but there he was in my living room. He hasn't done anything to me in a long time but since I told my family what he did to me when I was younger they promised I'd never have to see him again. He doesn't know just how much he messed my mind up how I don't like going places by myself because I'm scared of males but I suck it up bcuz he is my moms best friend and I guess that makes him more important then me. My grandma who owns the house I live in doesn't know what he did so she was more or less happy to see him. He isn't a predator or anything that I know of maybe I was a one time thing but I'm still going to tell my grandma and keep him far far far away from my daughter I won't let her suffer the same fate that I did.

Definitely say something!!! I say this from experience. When I was 7 my uncle molested me. I spoke up quickly but I am 58 so things were very different back then. I was protected and so was my sister because I said something. Sadly this monster eventually got married and molested his stepdaughter. I saw the signs. I saw it coming but was helpless to stop it. When she finally spoke up things were different and he went to jail. He served his sentence and has been out for over 20 years. I have had no contact with him and kept my children away from him. My siblings did the same. Speaking up isn't easy but never assume someone isn't a predator.
