Don’t be surprised if they ask you to work for him again, or invite you over, suddenly show up at family events and want to Friend you on FaceBook. Now that the secret is out, they are going to want everything to be “OK”. If you go over there or have to be around them at holidays, that will be proof that everything is “OK”.

I don’t know how old you are, but nothing creates distance like distance. Get out of the area and only see the family that isn’t connected to them. If a parent is, have them visit you where you are and don’t be ambushed by “Surprise! Uncle’s here!”

They may also make YOU the “problem”. You led him on, nothing happened, it’s no big deal, you misinterpreted. Or, when you’re a no-show for the holidays, “What’s HER problem??”

Ugh.

I just/”just” got kissed by an uncle and for years I was the family “problem”. But, nothing like decades after becoming an adult for them to be properly mortified and slink away from the rest of the family tree.

Block their number. Go to college/work far from them. Get out of that environment. Now, please.
