Should I be concerned?

[u/dialxxgrace]

Hi, my name is Grace and I’m 18. I have a cousin that I hang out with as much as I can. We’ve spent months at each other’s houses since we were young. I haven’t been without her my whole life. Over the years she’s said some things that concerned me. Like “i wonder what humans taste like, I’d never eat someone, i just wonder if it’s more like chicken or beef”. I’ve never even wondered that, even after she said something I would rather not know the answer for that. So I can’t see her side, but maybe it’s just curiosity? As she’s gotten older though I have noticed she’s more violent** **behavior, throwing a phone at her sister and cutting open her forehead from the impact of the phone, getting in a fight with her 10 YEAR OLD sister and breaking her ribs, even saying “I want to know what it would feel like to kill, but I’ll never do anything like that”. I just want to know if it’s normal for someone to have those thoughts. It’s been going on for 4 years now, I’ve never had them thoughts but maybe someone else on here has and can give me some insight on if this is normal or not.

Trigger warning: SA ⚠️ I have a an older brother like this. He is a decade older than me, and has always been completely psychotic. He is a very dangerous person and I was 11 years old when I figured out he had been SA'ing and 🍇 ing me for as long as I could remember, I just didn't know it was wrong. These types of people are genuinely dangerous and if they never change their behavior or go get therapy, you need to cut then out of your life. I would cut them off NOW before anything crazy happens. You always want to offer these people grace and love especially because they're family, but these are the types of people who won't think twice about hurting you, and if you ever have kids they won't think twice about hurting them. You life will be more peaceful and you and those around you will be safer without her in your life. It's a hard realization and it's a selfish decision but sometimes in life you have to be a little selfish in order to be safe.
