I lived with my cousin for 3 months. I moved into her house with because everyone in our family said she was a "strong Christian." She was the head of her church's prayer chain. I witnessed her punch her 7 year old daughter and take out extreme rage on her. She also told me she beat her previous dog to death in a fit of anger. She also said she murdered people in the hospital she worked in as a nurse in Milwaukee, WI. She acted very compassionately towards me, but there was a disconnect. It didnt seem real. I believe she is a sociopath. She also had men over who were convicted child abusers and the youngest 7 year old told me one of the men touched her. I reported her to health and human services and she kicked me out. I now have an apartment 2 hours away from where she lives and the local police said they would keep an eye out for me at my apartment. She thrives on chaos, has a huge ego, and sleeps 4-5 hours a night on average, classic sociopath. My whole family is angry i reported her and mu mom threatened to block my phone. The good news is my grandparents on my dad's side told me they will take care of me financially, as they are millionaires. But i pop an ativan or valium just to keep forgetting about all this. My brother is a financial advisor and real estate junkie and he said he will help me out too. Its not about losing the money for working for my family. Its about being called disloyal, vicious, and immature for reporting these things. I talk with a social worker again today. There is an ongoing investigation. I have felt like wanting to die, oversleeping, anxious, barely eating since this has all been going on. I just want this to end. I want those girks in a loving family.

I think you did the right thing. Some kids' monsters are real and they aren't under the bed. Being the parent doesn't give you the right to treat a child like that.

I also think you did the right thing. No one has the right to abuse a child. And she should be held responsible for her past actions also. She needs help. And I hope the authorities step in and do something.

No one has the right to ABUSE!! Not animals, not children, not nothing. You did the right thing in reporting her ~ what if, G*d forbid she let one of her children be molested or hurt or killed one of them *in a fit of rage*???
Good on you. You can be proud of yourself.
