Thanks for understanding. At least I know I'm not totally out of my mind for feeling this way...
Unfortunately I dont really have much of a relationship with his sister. Not enough to talk to her about something like this anyway. In addition to that, my boyfriend told me about this with the clear expectation that I wasnt to let any of the family know that I know, or mention it to his sister in any way. I'm 99% sure theyre not even aware I know about the sexual abuse to begin with.
I tried to keep most of my anger inside when my boyfriend shared this with me so that he wont be discouraged from telling me if it happens again. If it does continue to happen, and I find out, I will report it, and I'll just have to deal with whatever consequences that brings. As much as I'd hate to destroy my relationship with my boyfriend and his family, I couldnt live with myself if I knew I was allowing a child to be subjected to (possible) further abuse. That's IF I find out.... and something tells me I probably wont. But even that solution doesnt feel good enough right now. I mean, what kind of parent does that? .....
