I don't even know whats making me think of this now. ill try to make it as brief as poss.
uncle (dads brother) sexually abused auntie (dads sister) when they were kids/ young teens. their parents (my grandparents) know this happened but apparently overlooked/forgave him as they still speak to him and see him.
(mentioning this just because maybe it has become an occurrence that isn't a serious as it should be within the family.)
My memories of going to these grandparents house as a young child (from age 3 ish to around age 8) are mostly happy, one of my memories is my grandfather taking me up to the attic to show me the model train set and old photos. but I feel like there was a side door within the attic and through it there were low beams and a sleeping bag. why on earth would my mind make this up, but if im right, why on earth would it be there?
i really don't remember any abuse or anything so it probably is just my overactive imagination and if it wasn't for the uncles behaviour (not at grandparents at the time) i probably would just forget about it, theres just something niggling, as to why there would be that room?
i would remember though wouldn't i ? and if not then there is really no point trying to over think it is there?? after all, surely it would cause me more damage if it was the case and i somehow remembered it?
sorry for my rambles, its just something i think of from time to time.]
not really even sure what im asking....
