• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I would advise against sending an email, and wait (if possible) to talk to him in person. The reason is, that you can't take an e-mail back, and it's there forever that you accused your uncle of checking you out.

If you can, try to talk to him in person. Use an e-mail as a last resort if you don't think you'll see him in person any time soon.

She should not be alone with him. If he was checking her out he could twist whatever she says and use the fact that she sought HIM out, to say that she must've not been too upset that he was checking her out, and he wasn't checking her out anyway....and see? She's the one after me.

She should ALWAYS trust her gut.

She doesn't have to be in an upstairs bedroom with the door locked in order to discuss something privately. She can pull him aside to an empty corner in a room full of people, or be in another room that is still visible to people next to that room.

But you're right, gut instinct is still the best. If she doesn't feel comfortable doing even that, then she should send the e-mail, if that's what she feels is best.

you are a wise brother in Christ....she needs the wisdom and discernment that God gives us, and our "gut" instinct is part of that. Too many women stifle it or shush it up only to find out later they should'a paid heed to it.

God bless you, shinbits.
