Two-Faced Uncle.

β€œI legit created that email just so I could rant. Idk what to do. I feel really depressed but I feel like I have to keep up this mask of happiness or I become a burden and a disappointment. I feel really lonely too. I don't have anyone to talk to. My "uncle" used to help my mom financially and he still helps her but he started touching me inappropriately a few months ago and I dunno what to do. I know I'm supposed to tell her but she won't be able to survive on her own if she decides to drop him. My sister went to college and when my mom goes to work he comes over to "check up on me." I really don't know what to do. I'm also lowkey scared my mom won't believe me and tell me it's all in my head or she'll simply brush it off and everyone would know and start looking at me differently. Either way, the outcome is a disaster. I just wanna cry. But then I'll be too sad and we can't have that now, can we? Hope YOU have a lovely day! :)"

First off, I would like to say that we all have the fake email for shady websites and spam emails, so no need to explain. LOL. I’m honestly just like you; I often feel the need to be happy, to make others happy and laugh, when in reality I’m sad, mad, or just straight-up tired. But suppressing or hiding our true feelings and emotions is truly detrimental to our emotional well being. It could make you closed off and build up walls with people who sincerely and honestly care for you. I suggest to either continue to chat with me or someone you can trust on a daily basis. It's easy to feel alone in this quarantine, but you have a friend in me ;)

The situation with your uncle is really heartbreaking and sad. I really feel for you, but in my opinion you shouldn't continue to let him get away with this heinous act because he helps your mom financially. If you think your mom won't believe you or would be reluctant to believe you because of the financial support your uncle provides, try to capture evidence. It might be hard, but if you know when your uncle decides to "check on you" you can have a camera in corner or some sort of recorder. If you ever want to cry, I'm only a zoom call away and I truly hope you come out of this situation on top. I honestly wish you the best and keep me updated! If you need any more follow-up advice you know where to find me ;)

Much love,
