Feb 28, 2016 Get into therapy asap. You might not feel the need to, but this is some heavy s--- that you'll want to talk about with a professional. I had a friend in the 7th grade who had an aunt murdered by his Uncle in a homicide/suicide case. It f----- him up for years.
Feb 28, 2016 Ok.. there was a restraining order at one time, yes? That's not out of nowhere.. to me anyhow. Feel for your aunt, family and yourself. The heinousness of the crime is abhorrent.
Feb 28, 2016 it was filed close to a decade ago, and things seemed like they were turning around for awhile now for both of them now that they were back together. for all of us living in the family and being around it all, it was very sudden
Feb 28, 2016 Why the f--- would he need to go in therapy? If anyone should to go into therapy it's his aunt.
Feb 28, 2016 why the f--- wouldn't he? im obviously not saying lil homie NEEDS it, but what happened to his aunt is bound to be a traumatic experience for the entire family. if my aunt was beaten to near death u can be certain i'd want to talk to a professional about it.
Feb 29, 2016 Can't believe how sensible and mentally fragile people are nowadays. A "professional" LOL I can tell you haven't seen much s--- in your life. We're not talking about him or some catastrophic event that he witnessed or that affected him directly. It's about his aunt. If anyone needs therapy it's his aunt.
Feb 29, 2016 Anyway, hope your aunt gets well soon OP. My blood was boiling just reading your post. That's some f----- up s---. Hopefully this guy gets the same treatment wherever he's locked up.
Feb 29, 2016 Neither do they. It's really not as simple as them 'forgiving' an abuser. He's come to the forum to release some of his thoughts and feelings on this, which show that he does need to talk about it. We can be here to show him support and let him know we are thinking of him and his fam but everybody takes things different. Maybe he needs some coping mechanisms if there are feelings of guilt over their past relationship and what might have been, maybe just letting it out here will be good enough. Who knows, it's not as if seeing somebody about it is going to do him any harm. One of his family members nearly died, and in what would have been a tragic, preventable way. Personally, I would see that as something that would probably affect a lot of people to some degree. @Cyreides, my thoughts go out to your cousins. To witness that sort of thing is unimaginable. As much as it will f--- with her, at least she was there to save her mums life. I hope with all my heart that this is turning point in your aunts life. It's devastating that she has had to go through this. The best thing you could do is to be there for her, show her support and let her know that you are there if she needs it. I hope to god that she doesn't get back into any situations like this, not just for herself but for the sake of her daughters. *massive hugs*
Feb 29, 2016 i really do hope this brings us closer together @Mimi i've talked with her more in the past few days than i really have in the past few years. i hope she pulls through all this and comes out stronger for it and is able to pull through the other s--- she's dealing with too
Feb 29, 2016 I'm sure regaining relationships she may have thought were lost will bring her a lot of happiness and comfort
Feb 29, 2016 I found my father dead when I was 15. I spent most of my teenage years severely depressed. When I was 11 my father had a week long hallucinatory manic episode, which was a combination of alcohol and dilaudid withdrawal, as well as a severe case of pneumonia. He was in a medically induced coma for 2 weeks following that. should I continue or nah?? because that barely scratches the surface. im a PTSD sufferer dude. been on anti depressants for more than a year now. You can't "tell" s---.
