It's sad and difficult to admit that I've played some pretty nasty games on people myself. Some of them on people that liked me, and were trying to help me. It set me back years in my journey, I'm sure.

But, I stood up to him, and confronted him in front of the family (at least via email). That felt pretty good. and he had it coming. I wasn't abusive, I just told everyone what he did and that that's why I didn't want contact with him anymore. I didn't mention the things in the above post... just that he told me that it was my fault I was sexually abused- I think that is a plenty good enough reason to want someone out of you life, don't you?

We all do need to find ways to protect ourselves from the people that are hurting us, no matter who they are.
