I have been abused by three people on my fathers side of the family...
My 13 yr old cousin has asked me why I have mental health issues, and I told her that I had been touched in places I didn't like. She was confused but I didn't know what else to say. She has lived a sheltered life and all very Christian, and has never come across anyone such as myself who has been abused this way.
Anyway my main worry is that she is unsafe from these people... one of them only lives about 10 minutes away from her and he was my main abuser. He likes young girls just developing. She has kind of ignored me since I told her that I was abused and its hard for me to get the message across to her that she could be in danger herself. Another one of my abusers is coming over to NZ for christmas and I don't want him to do anything to her either.... she is a beautiful girl.
These men have no idea that I remember what they have done, I have pretty much just kept it silent. One of them can't look me in the eye... the other one acts as if he'd done nothing. And then the other one just stays away with his new family in Aussie. If I tell her, its going to break up the family, and they will all turn against me... I know that, but how do I protect her without making everyone mad at me? I wanted to have the safety talk with her, ya know... but I had no chance of doing that because she didnt want to talk to me anymore. I hope people can understand my ramblings here...
I need to know how I can get her to be more aware of sexual abuse, without the family knowing that I am going against them. Any help you give would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
