What causes an aunt to treat brother/cousin so well (like babies) and me like dirt?
My brother and cousin are 17 and 18. I am 20. I never remember my aunt loving me. Ever since I was a young boy (like 8 years) old I remember her screaming at me, etc for no reason.
She only speaks to me when she needs something. She calls my 17 year old brother and my 18 year old cousin prince and princess, while she treats me like dirt and talks to me in an unpleasant way. For example one time she gave them money in front of me while ignoring me. She talks to them like if they are 4 year olds while always expected me to be a 'MAN' even though I was a young boy.
What is the reason for this? It makes me really upset. I have talked to my parents about this but they always tell me don't care about what she says.

6 AnswersFamily8 years agoCan I threaten (by e-mail) my PEDOPHILE uncle that I will report him if he stays with us next September?
My uncle used to sexually abuse me and my brother when we were younger. I am 19, my brother is 17. He phones every week to talk to my brother about football.
He will be visiting next September and will be staying with us. I do not want him because I fear that he can sexually abuse my brother again.
I do not know when it started on me because I remember even getting some sort of erections when I was 5.

I feel lost! What should I do? I don't want my brother and myself to recount the story in the court since it's another HUGE trauma for us.
I can't afford to let so much time pass. He will soon be visiting. Also he is phoning at home once or twice a week and also wants to see my brother on Skype.
My brother doesn't seem to hate him. I don't know whether he knows what he did to us is wrong. What should I do? I feel my mind exploding :(

4 AnswersFamily8 years agoHow can I take revenge of my uncle?
My ******* uncle used to touch my brother and me when we were younger.
We are now 17 and 19. He phones once of twice a week to talk with my brother (nothing sexually though). It seems that my brother 'loves' talking with him and has not yet developed that anger that I developed towards him.
He will be visiting my country again and will be staying with us for 3 weeks in September. I am sure that he will MANIPULATE my brother again and touch him again like he used to do to me.
I HAVE ABSOLUTELLLYYYYY NO COURAGE TO REPORT IT, NOT EVEN TO A RELATIVE LET ALONE THE POLICE. What can I do to make him pay apart from reporting? What if he abuses my brother again? How can I stop him ? I HATEEEEEEEEEE HIMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me and my brother were sexually abused by an uncle when we were younger. I am 19 and my brother is 17. Chances are that my uncle will visit our country next September and he will stay at our home. How do I find courage to speak up of sexual abuse? I don't want him to abuse my brother again. I have no courage to report, or even speak about it to anyone. If I speak with someone do we NEED to press charges and report it formally or can we just prevent my uncle from staying with and and end of story? I don't want to go through the trauma of going to court etc.

I am gay. I never trusted any guy ... but some days ago I started to meet some gays in my area just to get to know them and had my first kiss. Is it wrong or can I get in trouble?
My uncle used to touch me when I was younger, so I was traumatised (until I was 12) but I never reported him.
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoIf I speak about sexual abuse, what will happen?
Having been sexually abused when I was young by an uncle (I don't remember when it started - however I remember starting to feel sexual stimulation when I was 5-6 years old (I'm male). I think it's because the sexual abuse had already started.
My uncle used to take me in his bed and touch me. He also touched m brother but WE NEVER told anyone. I DON'T WANT TO GO TO ANOTHER TRAUMA I.E. POLICE/COURT, but I just want to prevent my uncle from continuing abusing my brother if he visits from abroad next September and stays with us.
I have a close aunt who I am sure will understand me. Can I speak to her? What do you think she will do? I DON'T WANT TO LET HIM ABUSE MY BROTHER AGAIN!!!
I am 19, my brother is 17. Also, I am gay and never did anything with anyone, except kissing (this year when I'm 19)
Also, my uncle phones every week to talk to my brother about football...
5 AnswersFamily8 years agoHow to stop my ex-sexually abusing uncle from staying with us while visiting?
My uncle is the worst person on earth. He spends all his money on alcohol, betting on football, buying all expensive technology stuff and has no money saved.
I can't even remember when he started to sexually abusing me but I remember I started masturbating very very early.
When I was year 1 (around 5-6 years) I remember I used to 'touch my private' parts and having some sort of sexual stimulation. I think that's because the abuse had already started.
Then year after year, when he visits from abroad he used to touch me. Last 2 times he visited he also touched my brother. We never told anyone else.
I am 19. Last Summer my mother and I visited his country and stayed some days with him and his brother. I was 24/7 days a week with my mum and now I am big so I wansn't afraid of him as long as I'm not alone with him.
My brother is 17. He phones every Saturday morning to talk with him about football. Chances are that he will be visiting next September and am afraid that he can touch my brother again. Although he is 17 he looks younger.
Also, I am gay so I don't want to report and get blamed by the police or something. Also, I never did anything with anyone. The only thing I did was kissing (THIS YEAR WHEN I'M 19). Also, I don't want to make my mum and family unhappy. Also I am afraid that some of my relatives get angry for me because I did not report the sexual abuse.
What shall I do apart from speaking out?
4 AnswersFamily8 years agoCan i get in trouble for NOT reporting sexual abuse (on me and my younger brother by an uncle)?
I am 19. My brother is 17. We were both sexually abused by this same uncle when we were younger.
I have no evidence whatsoever to present. He used to touch us while in bed near him. Thank God he lives abroad so we don't see him that often.
Probability is that my uncle will be visiting from abroad this summer and he stays at our house. He phones every Saturday morning at our house and has GREAT interest in my 17 year old brother which whom they talk about football (my brother is a 'football addict') EVERY WEEK. He rarely speaks to his mother but most of the time only to my brother (he is 17, but looks younger). He already said that he will buy him a particular football t-shirt from abroad.
This t-shirt thing brought back memories to me about MY childhood abuse. When I was 8 he bought be a Juventus football t-shirt but I had to take off my clothes in front of him before he bought it. SOO MANY BAD MEMORIES.
I (we) did not report because we live in a small village where everyone will get to know, the court trauma, etc. :(
