[quote=Anonymous]We had a similar experience in our family. As an adult, my brother revealed that he had been sexually abused by our uncle when he was a boy. It was easy for me to cut off ties with my uncle as we weren't close, didn't live in the same city, and I had also been sexually abused as a child by a different person so was extra repulsed by this revelation. Even still, I regret that I haven't supported my brother more in his decision to come forward by providing him with more emotional support. It has been very sad for my mother as my uncle is her only living relative in her immediate family and she clearly put her own son above her brother. My mother did warn our cousin who had young children at the time and still occassionally saw my uncle. My advice is to avoid all contact and to support the survivor as much as you can. It must have been very scary for her to come to you with this information to protect your children.[/quote]
