ok so on christmas day my 'dad' called up, well bullied his way up. i havent spoken to him in yrs and no one wanted to see him.

i got a black eye, and a bruised jaw, i couldnt eat for a few days ,
he broke his hand on my face.  my aunts and uncles were on his side saying i provoked him and he only did it in self defense as i was choking him,. this is not true. its a lie he told. well they dont believe me.
but my nan doesnt know anything.
she thinks he broke his hand on the wii that day.
he is being a little golden boy to her. like bringing her for trips etc.. i want her to know what he did and why we dont talk...
but she is in her 80's and had a mild stroke a few yrs back so im afraid it will make her ill. at the same time i feel like im babying her by not telling her whats going on.
i spent christmas day in bed with a swolen face.. then had to make a statement in the garda station.
what would u do?

I might have killed him in self defense...

As for your nan, it's not good for her to know her son is a worthless piece of shit. Baby her the few years she has as she probably can't help you and if your dad finds out you told her he'll probably go at you again.

Nan=grandma?

Where is your mom?

I hope you choose whatever feels right to you.

I am protecting my grandparents from knowing the shit that my parents have done because it will shock them majorly and I'm not sure if it's worth it. There's only 1 living grandparent left, he's half deaf now and I barely speak with him at all (we live in different countries so I never see him and don't have much of a relationship)... so I am reluctant to stir up the drama.

Especially since it'd just make him worry and he won't be able to do anything, nor fully understand what has gone on.

But if everyone's deluded and you want the truth out there, then I hope you feel free to say so. Just be careful what you choose and any repercussions. Her health may actually be okay if you have a gentle and serious talk rather than shock her or something... I don't think emotion-related strokes or heart attacks are common at all unless you're scaring them in a "boo!" kinda way (=> heart accelerates => heart attack or stroke). But be prepared for them not to take it well, or for more family dramas or whatever. But on the other hand, at least you'd be being honest.

Do you care about what your nan thinks or do you have a relationship with her? If you don't maybe it's not worth ruining her peace. But if you do maybe its something you wanna tell her before she passes.
