I Lack a Sense of Family With My Family

Hello everyone. I am sorry for that story but that was the only site i found that i could talk anonymously. So as soon as i can:

I am christine and i am 25 y.o. I leave in my house with my two parents and next to us stay my uncle (dads brother ) and his wife with their daughter,natalie ,and one son (my cousins) . We have a really good relationship with all of them (natalie is one of my best friends too.)

The problems started in the 15th of july when i started to do practise in my uncles office so as to have some money for my summer vacation at 25 of August. The problem is that my uncle those 15 days have already groped me 4 times (one today morning ) I dont know what the hell but the third day when i went to the office he said good morning touching me on my shoulder and as he was talking to me he slipped his hand down above my butt and grabbed me for a while letting me silence and frozen. But as i didnt know what to do i continue to talk to him. It has been repeated 3 times those days in different occasions and i really don't know what to do

a. Tell smthing maybe will be followed by fire and argue of 2 families
b. Be patient until 15 of August when i stop working ?

Any expert for advice ? Thanks in advance.

The best time to speak up is RIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED. The second best time is RIGHT NOW.

If there is trouble in your family, YOU will NOT be the cause of that trouble; it is your uncle who is causing the trouble, NOT YOU!

It is not worth it to put up with this. Skip your vacation if you have to.

If you think no one will believe you, put your cell phone on video recording mode and catch it on video. And when you do tell your parents, or whomever you do tell, you can remind them that many young women would go directly to the police about this kind of thing.

Of course, you could decide to be nice about this and have a firm, clear assertive talk to your uncle about this behavior. If you are clear and firm, not accepting any excuses or arguments from him, maybe he will stop. But, just to make sure, quietly record the discussion on your cell phone.

Please don't just let this go on. You have a right to your own body. Your dignity should not be the price you pay for family harmony or a vacation. It is precious. Take care of yourself.
