(Man, my internet has been a pig and I’ve been looking all over for this group, for some reason it didn’t show up in the community search …)
Anyway… I guess I’m learning to accept this part of me. Granted, I am not in (or would be able to persue) this type of relationship but I realized today that I have had the feeling for at least 2 of my 1st cousins since I was young T_T It feels really wrong to acknowledge it but what else can I do?? Oh well. Thanks for listening. 💌
You can accept it and still struggle. Acceptance is a loopy roller coaster process just like any self-improvement or healing process. You’re incredibly valid and I hope time helps you grow to accept yourself as such. (Much love <3)
Thank you <3 I’m really grateful to have discovered this wonderful community and I definitely wouldn’t be in this position of acceptance without it.
there’s nothing wrong with love 💖
There is nothing wrong with any form of attraction - and there is no harm in feeling attracted to anyone. Moreover, a relationship involving two close relatives is no more or less harmful than any other - it is completely valid. 💜
Thank you <3
I am attracted to my estranged uncle… 🌷 I haven’t told anyone IRL, just that I’d like to get in contact with him, but no one can really reach him. He chose to distance himself from the family and I would honour that request if it wasn’t for the fact that I also want to distance myself from the family and I feel like we’d have a lot in common. He only knew me as a kid, at which point I hadn’t really become myself yet, so yea.
Thank you for sharing. It’s reassuring to know it doesn’t appear to be that uncommon. I hope someday you get to reconnect with your uncle <3
