My uncle sexually abused me when I was a kid; I think I was around 10 years old or so, but I won’t get into that right now. I’ve been thinking of starting a business for a while now, but my dad doesn’t want me to. He said I should focus on school only, but it’s really hard when sometimes I can barely afford the basics that I need because my dad doesn’t have a lot right now. My mum doesn’t work. Anyway, my mum told me earlier this week that she reached out to my uncle. Yes, that uncle, and he said he might be able to help out. I love my mum, and I’m grateful to her for trying to help, but I never told her or anyone about what happened because this man threatened to cause me harm if I ever told my parents.
I told her that she should drop it, that I’m not accepting any help from him, and she’s been asking me why. She really wants to know, and I want to tell her, but it’s been years! I don’t want to break her heart. At the same time, I’m really tempted to accept help from this man because at this time, I am desperate, but I don’t want to throw my shame out the window! Do you think I should accept his help? I’m out of options here. I’ll be reading the comments.
