My 14 year old sister is in a ‘non s*xual relationship’ with a 23 year old man and I’m the only one in my family who sees this as a problem…
They met through a summer camp two years ago, as he was one of her group leaders. They became ‘friends’ and exchanged phone numbers. Sometime within the past few months, they’ve begun ‘dating’ according to my sister. They apparently confessed their feelings for one another over a phone call and he proceeded to ask her out. She accepted and proudly refers to this creep as her boyfriend.
My parents seem to have no problem with this whatsoever. My Dad initially was concerned and as angry as I am but I believe the combination of my mother talking to him / my father actually meeting the perv brainwashed my Dad into seeing things in a different way. I’ve brought up my concerns on multiple occasions but my parents constantly shut me down and have even accused me of causing unnecessary tension and trying to destroy a ‘pure relationship’.
I’ve considered going to the police but the fact is they aren’t having s*x. I know this for a fact because my sister and the sicko are never left alone. He apparently made a promise to my parents that he’s willing to wait as long as possible if it means he can remain my sisters boyfriend. For whatever reason, they fall right into this bullshit and act like they want what’s best for my sister.
I probably didn’t explain enough but I’m just so utterly lost, angry, confused, ect. I honestly can’t even put into words how I really feel. I’m her 22 year old brother and I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders to save her from this sick freak. I know talking to my sister won’t do anything, my parents are a lost cause, and I simply don’t have any evidence of legal wrongdoing. All I know is this will not end well if something doesn’t happen. I love my parents but I’ll be the first to admit they are beyond wack.
I want to believe they are choosing to see this as a ‘phase’ in her life or are secretly plotting to catch the guy but deep down I know that’s not the case. They truly believe he’s a good guy and possibly their future son in law which just makes me ill to even think about.
