Please bear with me and get past this first paragraph of bollocks. I have no one to tell this to IRL at this moment. And no I'm not a troll with nothing better to do. My point is not about whether it's true etc: My sister rang me an hour ago to tell me the following. She has been smelling smoke at the top of her stairs and in her 4YO DD bedroom. Her DD won't sleep in her room anymore because she's scared. Her 2YO DS keeps saying he can see a man. My Sister now sleeps in DD's bed and said she felt someone sit on the end of the bed but there was no one there. Her hairdresser comes to her home and the past few times has commented on a presence. The hairdresser is into spiritual stuff and so today brought some I don't know, some stuff to burn in each room? Not sure but to get 'the presence' to leave. Anyway, upshot is hairdresser turns around and tells my sister that the presence is evil, there with bad intent and is our Grandad and that he's watching the kids, but not in a good way. The hairdresser knows nothing about me. Doors slam shut etc etc.
So, the back story is that 20 years ago I revealed to my mum and my sister that my Grandad had been sexually abusing me from the age of 8-13. I had kept it to myself for many years and it was discovered by my mum by accident really. I know it was a huge shock to them to find this out but my sisters reaction to me was awful. She didn't say she didn't believe me but she told me she would never think anything bad of him because he'd never done anything to her, she loved him, she was very close to him etc etc etc. She didn't ask me anything about the situation. Her whole reaction was bizarre. I was incredibly hurt by it and we've never spoke of it till today.
So she rang me to tell me about the apparent evil presence of my Grandad. I was silent and really didn't know what to say. But what came out in the conversation is that NOW she believes me. NOW. 20 years on. Because of some so called evil spirit thing?!!!! AIBU to feel so hurt and so fucking angry?! So my word wasn't enough? 20 years I've carried that reaction of hers with me. Feeling like a liar and that I was making up the whole thing. But NOW because of some fucking 'evil Grandad spirit ' in her house - now she believes me?! I'm not interested in the whole whether spirits exist etc. My point is that I cannot believe that she couldn't believe me at the time and that she hasn't for 20 years. But that all changed today because of some bullshit story about an evil Grandad spirit in her house?
I'm sorry but I just needed to tell someone. I'm so angry and I'm so upset.
