I think my dad has been sexually harassing my sister for years.

Hi, I am aware that this might not be a very parenting related cry for help but I really need help with something. I assumed that posting it here with the perspectives of other parents I might get the advice I need.This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to admit to myself and to others but, I think my dad has been harassing my 12 year old little sister for years. He is always very inappropriately touching her and my sister is too afraid to speak out. He isn’t verbally or physically abusive in any other way, he is actually our better parent. My mom is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, so that makes her not be a very good mother figure for anyone. Anyway, this has been happening for a long time now.Ever since we both were little he always touched us like that, and in a way I think he considers it to be normal. When I was about 10 or 11 I finally told him that it made me uncomfortable and that he needed to stop, but my sister never did. Today I spoke to her and asked her wether she was okay with my dad touching her in the way that he did, and she said it made her super uncomfortable but she didn’t know how to tell him.I gave birth to my firstborn about 4 months ago, and ever since then I’ve had this sixth sense with things that might cause her harm. And because of that very protective sense I began to notice that my dad has this weird thing for little kids. Every time we go out and a little child walks by or is standing in front of us in line he starts talking to them in a really weird way you just don’t talk to other people’s kids like. This makes me really concerned not only about my own child’s safety, but of those of others. It also makes me terribly concerned about my sister’s situation.I want to confront my dad about this, and even though I am almost sure that this declaration is true, I am scared that it will wreck the only relationship with a parent that I have. But a part of me knows that I can’t just ignore this anymore. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Ldr8Jw
