Answer #1

Imthebestthteverdoneit, what your uncle did is child abuse, flat out. Period. You need counselling so that you can come to realize why that kind of child rearing does NOT produce good people, but rather sadistic or warped people. YOU WERE NOT IN THE WRONG. (Now all the spoil-the-rod’ers can flame-on.)

Answer #2

Family fueds are always rough. I think family holds more grudges over their loved ones then friends do. My mom always tells me Just “kill” em with kindness!. Works everytime.

Answer #3

There are some poeple who just hold grudges and there really isn’t anything you can do to MAKE them forgive you or make them talk to you. If they won’t talk to you, send them a letter of apology, be sincere.

Answer #4

Thank You I Just started Talkin to my cuzzins again this week and it felt sooo good to talk to them we where all VERY close befor this went down.. I treated my lil cuzzin john like he was my own brother and I so mad at myself for it because I have missed so many years with them I texted my uncle and said hey wrote him a long text and all he said is hi.I don’t know what to do

Answer #5

No never blame yourself, you were very young,remember. Beating you with a belt is very old fashioned and seems extreme/wrong to do this at a young age. They knew deep down that they were in the wrong, thats why they dont talk to you, and this is why you have a lot of “self-blame” If they dont talk to you, then thats their loss, you can only persuade them, but if they still dont want to know you…then move on with your life, as this will affect your personal life in the future if you dont sort this now x

Answer #6

Show them this Q or forward it to them, then go from there.

Answer #7

they should forgive you at some point, it will just take time. Keep the conversation fairly mutual, and dont keep apologising for it, as this is just going to keep bringin up the past. Good luck chick x

Answer #8

I agree with her ^ l l my grandma is still mad at me and my dad and my sister there isnt really anything you can do. just pray that theyll forgive you
