Will really try and not drip feed here! I feel really unsure as to whether I’m handling this right. My cousin (DC) who is in her early 30’s, accused her father (DU) of emotionally and physically abusing her when she was a child. This all came out a couple of years ago and has caused a real divide in the family. A lot of people have chosen to take sides and have more or less come out and said they believe DU. I’m a mental health practitioner and sadly come across this more times than I care to mention but it’s always different when it’s your own isn’t it? I’ve made a point of always listening to her and have been one of the few not to eliminate her from my life. She’s angry that people still choose to spend time with him and when she does get angry, talks about going to the police to report him. I have limited contact with DU but AIBU to think that people shouldn’t be taking sides? The way I see it is that there’s only 2 people here who will ever know the truth…
