“I have to tell her what really happened” response

To the original poster, I hope you see this. You deleted your post before I finished my comment. So here’s what I’d like to tell you:

I’m glad you finally posted this. That took real courage. I hope it helped you to get some of your feelings out of your body. I just want to say that I’m so sorry about what happened to you and what you’re facing now.

I think it’s really brave for you to even consider coming forward to your aunt to help protect another young girl. It’s completely possible that she will react exactly how you fear she might. You’ll have to mentally prepare for that. It’s also possible that she may surprise you. Just make sure you do what you feel like your heart is telling you to do. Whatever that is is the right thing.

Sending you a virtual hug.
