One of the last nights i spent with my nanna, we both talked for hours. Nanna did a lot more talking (as usual - ha ha), and some of it was a little hard to understand because of the oxygen mask she was wearing. She told me lots of things, and she made me promise a few things also. These promises I will keep because I love my nanna, she meant the world to me and to keep her promise is to show her how much i love her still, and always will. Nanna made me promise i would get to know you, and to look after you. I will keep true to my word.
I will firstly say that she did tell me about what happened, and how some people are trying to force you to sweep it under the mat. I will say to this that this will never help you get over such things and that people should be made responsible for their actions no matter how hard it may seem. Particularly if you seem to have some of your own family against you. I will stand side by side with you, and give you all the support possible to help with what can be such a daunting job, should you wish. I would never let you feel alone and should you ever want to talk, even if its just about the weather, just call. I will also say that quite often the abuser was abused himself. Have you ever asked why they did this. Maybe this could help you find some inner peace.
Till then, Marney.
