I dont know anymore.....I just dont know.
Im going to try and explain a situation as best I can....without giving some things away.
I have a few friends of mine...that I have known all my life. People I am very close too and love very much.
Well....when I was younger I found out, that the older of the two had hurt my friend very badly....she had been abused by him sexually. And she told. This caused a lot of problems. And since I was the younger of the three...I wasnt suppose to know what was going on. But given my inteligence, eventually I figured out what happend.
After some threats from her Mother, she dropped the charges. She dropped the charges and said she lied so she could remain around me. And since I wasnt fully aware at that point, what had all happend...I was friends with them both still.
It was never spoken of again. Ever.
They acted as though it had never happend...on the outside at least...but I think we all know, the inner fire that burns us alive
It was almost as though everyone around us....just....forgot. Ignored it. Literally sweeping it under the rug and saying its clean. Because of my relationship (not any sort of dating kind) with him....I tried to deny it in my own mind as well. I laughed with him and love him. Hes important to me.
Yet.....he did that to her.....he hurt her badly......
And when he was drinking he was sometimes even inappropriate with me...but only when he was too drunk to really control himself or realize what he was doing.. Allowing his hand to slid to far down on my back.....small light touches as he moves....just...being to close for anyone to be comfortable. More so with my kind of relationship with him. Sometimes comments were said that were just.....horrible.....things that were sexual references that were just SO inappropriate to be said to me.....im very careful around him when he gets that way....its not often...but still. Im careful. Watching him to make sure he doesnt do something.
Yet.....I still act as if everything is okay.....
I treat him the same as I always have....still hug him and care about him.....but....how can I? Shouldnt I....feel like hes something evil? To be staying away from and stuff?
Why do I act like its okay what he did to her?
Why does he have to be so important in my life? I love him....hes been in my life since before I was born....hes important and I cant possibly hate him...ever....
But....I am feeling so confused.....
I have never...and will never confront him about this....she made me promise to never do it.....because shes past it. Shes already healed. Doesnt want it broght back into the light
I just....dont know whats wrong with me......
I feel like...im letting him get away with it.....that....im just....saying it was okay...
I can barley even hold ill feelings toward him! Yes he did wrong..but...I cant fucking bring myself to be hate him.....yes....Im upset with the things he did...but hes still so close to my heart after such an act....its not right...
Please....somebody....give me an explaination.....
Tell me how wrong I am to feel the way I do......
I feel like I betrayed her...by still being close to him......I just...dont know what to do...
Its bothering me so much.....
Im so completly ashamed of myself....for feelings I cant even help......
Anybody with anything to say would be very much appreciated.....I could use all the help I can get right about now.
Thanks for reading and caring.
Take care
