Hi I need some advice. This past Monday I saw my uncle that abused me when I was nine. He was fallowing me around and it scared the crap out of me . Do u coincided this harassment or no? My parents don't believe me and refuse to to put an harassment charge on him.

scared24, I definitely consider it not only harassment but emotional abuse as well. You don't say whether your uncle was ever brought up on charges of abuse when you were nine. Either way, the fact that he continues to scare you needs to be stopped. I worry for your mental safety in replaying this fear over and over. If your parents don't believe you then find someone who will. You life will be taken over by him unless he is stopped. I support you. Stay Safe.

Thanks for ur support I appreciate it. He was a sex offender when he was found guilty. Then my dad did not want me to go to court anymore so he is no longer a sex offender. My parents yell at me and tell me to let it go but it is really hard to do that. I just want to know if it was him or not. My dad is refusing to put an harassment charge on him and that makes me angry

scared24, I'm on your side in how you are feeling. If you are over 18, you have every right to pursue this on your own. If you are underage, then Family Services will help you. In Chicago, our police departments have Social workers who handle questions and concerns for issues like this. If you are not sure it was he that was following you and want to wait to see if it happens again, then that is your choice. But don't let it continue, it won't get better. Use the forum for support although we don't get into legal matter, I'd like you to feel you are not alone. Maybe someone else who has gone through this from the forum will share their story. take care.

Is there someone who has dealt with this before and found a way to handle it ? I am scared and need to know what to expect from this issue? Can someone tell me if they have been harassed before and how did u handle it? I would appreciate the support and advice
