To give a bit of a history..the abuse stopped 7 years ago with a few "incidents" after that. The guy is now almost 70 and has grandchildren 15 and 11 I think. And others that are babies. My abuser called again..I have tried to ignore him for a few years now....he has no idea why though. I was talking to my father and he told me that I need to worry about me and do what's best for me. But how can I turn a blind eye when there might be more abuse going on? I think it happened to their kids...and others. It upsets me to think that they knew and did nothing. The one son walked by while it was happening....how can they turn the other way when they KNOW it was happening? Just b/c their family chooses to be in denial and turn the other way while he very well may be doing this to his grandkids doesn't mean I have to. My father says it's their family not mine..and it's their problem. I don't know if I can accept this. Yes, it is THEIR family..and that makes it even more sick that they do nothing, but there is still a chance that INNOCENT CHILDREN are getting hurt! What do you all think? And if I do turn him in maybe nothing will happen.... I'm just confuzed.
