Thank you soooo much for sharing this hurtful time in your life so honestly! By doing this you are STILL HELPING people!! I just found this today and you posted I/23/2010. Most of the people viewing this will not respond, so just KNOW how much good you are still doing, probably for years to come. Thanks again!

I'm going to be harshly judgemental, your aunt is a real piece of shit. And you are a strong person and I have enormous respect for you.

Thanks for sharing Will. I believe the greatest and most successful of people have difficult childhoods, but then they are successful in the future.

Wow. Not violent, but emotionally traumatizing for a child. I could see how this could cause a confusion deep within. The emotional trauma of seeing yourself as the aggressor sounds like it could be as bad or worse than molestation when it comes to trying to find your identity with age.

I probably would have taken up drinking too.

Why you hate your aunt so much?

You shouldn't reveal this secret, you don't know how she feels about that situation and maybe she is very sorry. Its very easy to judge others especially when you are the victim.
