How can this letter writer decline their cousin’s dinner invitation without telling him the horrible truth about his father?
This would be lovely, except that his father, who was married to my mother’s sister, sexually molested me and my sister when we were young. I have no desire to be anywhere near this creepy uncle. I never let him near my own children, unsupervised, when they were young, and they have no relationship with him.
I don’t want to lose the connection with my cousin, but I don’t have any good reasons/excuses without being brutally honest, which I’m hoping to not have to be in this case. Your wisdom is much appreciated.I’m so sorry this happened to you and your sister, and that you didn’t have the support and protection of family members. You don’t mention if this creepy uncle of yours lives with “Thomas” or if he would be present if you visited.
