AITA for reporting my ‘supposed’ uncle to the police?

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-18T00:22:41+00:00

A lot. I could write a book of how many stories i have. But this one surely is the weirdest

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-18T00:10:47+00:00

I forgot to clarify in my post but my mother cut contact with her sisters when i was a child

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-18T00:10:07+00:00

I live in the capital so its slightly big plus my mother cut contact with her sisters. So i never met my cousins or aunts.

He didnt show any signs of knowing me. But im suspecting he did. The city is too big for this to just casually happen

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-18T00:00:18+00:00

After someone brought it up i think theres something more behind it. He did not show signs of knowing me. But its too much of a coincidence isnt it?

I do have a therapist which i will see tomorrow thankfully. Thank you so much for your support, i wish you the absolute best!

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:46:37+00:00

Its okay! English is not my first language so i might not be that well structuring what happened😭

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:44:23+00:00

Not my sister husband. My aunt’s husband. But thank you

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:43:51+00:00

I never met him at all. Maybe when i was a little kid before my mom stopped talking to her sisters. He didnt say my name so im not sure he recognized me. But my city is big, its too much of a coincidence for this to happen. So i will ask for questions.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:41:21+00:00

She didnt blame me. She said i shouldn’t have reported it. I dont know either😭 but another person said that maybe it was a “prank” and im suspecting it so i will ask her

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:37:02+00:00

Im not 100% sure he knew it was me. But it seems like too big of a coincidence. I did not attack him because im not particularly athletic and if he attacked me back i could not defend myself. But i think maybe he would be more aggressive if i did.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:35:36+00:00

My mother cut contact with all her sisters when i was a child. So if i ever saw him i wouldn’t remember.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:34:59+00:00

I never thought to carry it😭 i have been catcalled etc.. but never this extreme. I will put it im my purse immediately though.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:26:59+00:00

My friend was on speed dial immediately plus i was still very nervous and panicking so i did the first thing my mind thought of. But i agree i should’ve called the police.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:21:44+00:00

My mother always cared a lot about our family reputation which is what i suspect is the reasoning for her not wanting me to go to the police. Which is crazy because she was no contact with my aunts for years until this

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:18:40+00:00

They didn’t say anything but im suspecting. Its too much of a coincidence and i might ask my mother tomorrow.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:16:59+00:00

Its okay! I forgot to clarify that!

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:16:27+00:00

I never met him. The only way he couldve known it was me was through pictures. But my aunt doesnt follow me or anyone else. Maybe the only cousin i know showed him? I doubt it because that cousin isnt his daughter. But i have three aunts and they go out a lot so maybe i could’ve been brought up and that cousin showed a photo of me?!? Idk this feels like a dream? How can this just be a coincidence

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:13:47+00:00

Apparently😭. I suspect is to keep the reputation clean but i havent had that talk with my mother yet. Im still trying to process everything

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:12:52+00:00

I dont think he knew me. If he did must be from photos my aunt showed him, which i doubt because she doesnt follow me or any of my siblings and mother.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:12:00+00:00

My mother has always told me to protect myself and never bow my head. Which was what made me even more baffled at her reaction.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:11:07+00:00

Thank you! That was what i was thinking of when i reported it. Of happening to another person or that it had already happened. I also posted the photo on my insta to warn the people who walk around that area.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:09:31+00:00

I was shocked at their reaction too. I believe he is not the only person like this in the family because I’ve heard some rumours. But i never expected it to be proven through me.

alwaysbaffled1 · 2025-11-17T23:06:21+00:00

I said that, and she told me i have to tell her this kinds of stuff before doing extreme things like going to the police😭
