You know it's easy to encourage victims to seek help and report abuse. I have heard a lot of rape stories. But the most one's that i have not heard are those which aren't told. Sometimes it is difficult to talk about such issues to those close to you because you don't know their views, more especially if that person is a super close relative. It is not easy. I had, no, i have an uncle and i was staying in the house with him and his kids. I was living there for the last week before schools closed as it was closer and my aunt(her husband) was at Ezulwini to prepare for my mothers funeral. So, one night i'm preparing a meal for us. He is drunk and he starts telling me he loves me. Whether i know that and it was odd. I have lived with him for 3 yrs. He is kind, patient, giving. I could say more. This is a great person, I respect and look up to. So, hearing that threw me offguard. Ofcourse , it felt like he would say he was joking and that would be that. But he didn't. I fetl uncomfortable. The space between us was too close. He left to drink again and i felt my heart pumping out of my chest.
Dear user that is a wired situation, that really need attention. It is true you can feel like it is not good to report it , but you really need someone to talk to, someone you trust.

What will someone I 'trust'do? How will they help? Will they make it go away. Those who should be the ones who know, my family, if told will not believe. It's just the way it is.
