I can no longer call you my aunt. You've betrayed your family and most of all, your 4-year-old daughter. I really should be putting the blame on your dirty, nasty, perverse bastard of a husband, but you're the one who stays married to him. You refuse to see what happened to me as any reason to get rid of him, but I'm afraid what happened to me may soon happen to your daughter, only worse.

I remember when you and your husband used to baby-sit for me while my mom and dad were out for whatever reason. I remember the first time it happened, I could tell you every damned thing about that night. You were in the bathroom when it happened, and I was out in the hallway with the bastard; he tried to pass it off as if he were just tickling me. Well, he was molesting me... on and off for 5 long years. And it might have continued if I didn't come out of denial and finally tell my mother.

It's just too bad neither you nor the bastard will come out denial and face the truth.

Now, six years have past since the last incident and I sit here wondering if it will happen to your daughter. You knew long and well that the whole family hates your husband and my mother has even talked to both you and the bastard about what happened to me, yet you both continue to live in denial. Do you really want to be with a man so much that you'll stay with a child molester? I'd much rather die an old woman.

I probably sound bitter for myself, but that's not the real reason of this letter. The reason is I'm pleading for the well being of your daughter. If your husband molested me when I was a young girl and he was only around me occasionally, then who's to say what will happen to her? Face it, he's a sick man and feeds on little girls. It makes me sick wondering if he does this to your daughter or other children. I should feel as though I've done enough... that it wasn't my fault to begin with and I did what was right by telling my mother. Well, I'm a caring human being, and if there were something I could do to keep this from happening to your daughter or anyone else, I'd do it in a second.

I've considered taking him to court, but I really don't have much of a case. I wasn't raped or anything a court of law that would see as serious, so there would be no point in trying that. There was always someone around to keep your bastard of a husband from doing anything too serious to me, but there may not be someone around to protect your daughter. There will be plenty of times she will be left alone with him, and it makes me sick to think of what may and probably will happen if he doesn't get help. I just wish there were something more I could do.
