Oh it wasnt someone beating my cousins abusive boyfriend, sorry if Im not very clear on things Im on my phone and its not easy to type whole threads with my thumb. :P Anyway, that was something completely different, a different cousin of mine who used to be involved in a lot of crime, including selling my mother drugs when he was 15, had someone knock on his door with a baseball bat in the middle of the night at the end of last year and bashed him. While that was happening I was lying in bed thinking to myself some time soon someone is going to do something to him, ie bash him. The next day my grandmother told me what happened, and both were a little freaked out by the fact Id sort of been thinking he would get bashed at the very moment he was actually getting bashed. The reason I brought it up now is because when my grandmother told my auntie this, my auntie said that if I ever have those thoughts again to say something. Well I did that, I had been saying for months my cousin was going to end up bashed by her boyfriend, but nobody listened. Then the other day I said to my grandfather she was going to get punched again, and soon. Then the next day my grandfather calls me to inform me that sure enough, she had recently been hit again. It makes me so mad and confused that Im told to speak up, then when I do Im told to shut up? What am I supposed to do? I know deep inside that yet another of my cousins in going to get in trouble with the police soon. I have said that to my mother and grandmother. Of course nothing is ever done. My family just make excuses.
