*trigger warning*

on new years eve I was kicked out of my aunts house for being a lesbian . that night my uncle took me to his house and attempted to rape me. I had to go back to living with my fighting parents and sister. things escalated to the point where things became abusive and police got involved. I am waiting to be placed in a foster home. last night, my grandpa began sexually touching me and complimenting at how nicely I was growing into my body. I have not felt safe in nearly a year and I cannot live like this anymore. I want to die. I want it to all be over. i now have bulimia, i started self harming after 6 months clean. its all so pointless. i have no friends and no hope. i dont see a point anymore. I cant find a reason to live

I'm sorry you're going through this......it is horrible. Especially about grandpa. My grandpa was my safe person its hard to imagine that one would do that.
I am NOT saying that he didn't....... I feel horrible I wish I could take your place. You don't deserve this . please understand it does get better. When? I don't know. But it will. And there are people who would miss you if you left us. Me for one Don't give up. Keep fighting

I'm so sorry you are going through this right now. It took courage to post. Everyone, including you deserves to be safe and cared for. Can you tell your caseworker or a teacher or counselor at school about what's going on with your grandfather? You definitely shouldn't have to live like this or deal with this alone. Please consider telling someone you think you can trust so you can get some help.

Write your Grandpa a note or text or tell him to his face that you told a friend what he did to you and the friend said she reported it to the police. OR You report him to the police asap.

Why do you say you don't see a reason to live, when you're just about to go into a foster home?

How about you wait and see what that's like. And talk to the counsellor they will give you about how to handle any dangers you might find yourself in. Ok? Get a strategy in case anyone at the foster home tries to treat you badly. Find out exactly how they are supposed to treat you, and get a good convo going about what you will do if anything goes pear shaped.

Tell the counsellor about granddad too. And sleep with a hammer and a chair up against the door handle. And tell granddad he'll wake one morning without a penis if he so much as looks at you funny ever again.

Don't self harm, that's a sellout. Carry your stress and use your stress to better your life. Don't offload it into other damage.

Call a rape crisis line and tell them what you have posted. You are not in a safe place and you need direct support and protection. You need to remove or GET REMOVED from all this hate, sickness, and danger. All of it.

Call the crisis line as soon as you can do it safely.
