I hadn\u2019t seen him in years, and when he first arrived, he greeted me with a long hug that lasted just a little too long. At first, I brushed it off\u2014maybe he was just being friendly. But then, the comments started.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"321\" data-end=\"735\">\u201cYou\u2019ve really grown up,\u201d he said, his eyes scanning me in a way that made my skin crawl. \u201cI barely recognized you. You turned into a real woman.\u201d His words felt wrong, like there was something behind them that he wasn\u2019t saying out loud. Every time I walked into the room, he found a reason to mention my looks\u2014how my hair was nice, how I had a \u2018great figure.\u2019 I laughed it off at first, but inside, I felt sick.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"1171\">The hugs became more frequent, too. A hand resting on my back for too long, a touch on my arm that felt unnecessary. I started avoiding being alone with him, finding excuses to stay in my room or leave the house. But how do I say something without it turning into a huge family issue? If I tell my mom or my aunt, will they just say I\u2019m overreacting? I don\u2019t want to cause drama, but I also don\u2019t want to feel unsafe in my own home.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1198\" data-is-last-node=\"\">I just want him to leave.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My cousin is staying with us for a few days, and I feel incredibly uncomfortable.
