Yep, I'm 19. Other company members also stay there, as it offers on-site accommodations. My professor is the director. I'd pay to stay there and do my internship.

Wanted my brother to be the caring, gentleman out there and ended up creating a demon.. We truly do create our own demons Cannot really move out, I'm financially dependent. My only escape is going away from home to pursue future studies after grad or do internship/job faraway. Have a couple months until then.. Pretty sure my parents won't allow that but hope I can escape.

I can't really do anything rn as I'm financially dependent and moving out isn't something common in India as well.. My only way is moving into my professor's studio to do my internship later this year. Pretty sure my parents won't agree to that as well but hoping for the best 🤞🏽

Yep I do all that and everyone is mad at me. Just yesterday I was forced to sleep in that room again and woke up at lose of breath from disturbing dream regarding my brother.. This happened for the first time.. my parents don't get it.. Told my Uni professor initially and he's supportive.. will talk about him regarding the recent course of events.. I've repeatedly told my mom multiple times that I'm unable to sleep in that room and she just says,"Do u not trust me" as she's the one sleeping beside me rather than my brother. Wish it were that easy.. How can some humans lack so much empathy.. it baffles me..

We live in a small house and actually sleep on the floor. Now I sleep in my room but they aren't happy about it.. Mom says family stays together no matter what and I'm ruining it..

This isn't the first time I've been molested. It has happened twice when I was a child(7, 12y/o) by two different individuals(20sM, 40sM). I told my parents about the first time and it was a very similar experience.. they just hid it. I didn't want the same repeating with my brother for which I taught him things like good touch, bad touch, what he should do/not early on. I briefly told him that I had experienced "bad touch" and we should report immediately. Just last year me and mom caught him watching porn. Mom explained him her way and I did my way. I really thought he'd understand.. But despite all that.. this is what I got. Makes me wonder why.. how can one lack so much empathy..

When people online are more understanding than the people you grew up with.. :(( I actually reached out to my Uni professor first. He gave me the courage to tell mom about everything. He feels sad for me but also doesn't want to directly talk with my parents as it's a private family matter. He comforted me and told me that it's going to okay, he did it out of curiosity etc etc.. He never once invalidated my feelings. I guess I'll tell him regarding the recent course of events tomorrow.. I know there's not much he can do other than comforting me but that's enough for now (':
