I'm living with a relative who poses a danger to me, but they are family and I love them, what should I do?

If they pose a danger to you, you should put yourself first and make sure you are safe. Even if you love and care for them, the most important thing is that you're safe. Even if that may sound selfish.

If this family member is dangerous I suggest that you stay away from them for your own safety. I know u love them and will do anything for them. But sometimes to love someone is to let them go if that's the best option.

This must be a very uncomfortable situation for you, have you tried talking to other family members and telling them you don't feel safe?

Your safety is of the utmost importance. You can love someone and remove yourself from a situation lovingly to protect yourself. Nobody deserves to feel threatened or unsafe in their own home.

Find someone very trustworthy and understanding that can help you become safe. Love doesn't cause hurt and you deserve peace.

You should assess the gravity of the danger and if you feel that it is quite serious there are two options either you move out or ask the person to move out. If that is not possible ensure that you are never alone in that person's company. It is also possible that you make it clear to that person that if he does any activity which you perceive would harm you the consequences would be serious for him. What you do is entirely depending upon the situation and you should make the decision accordingly.

I would have a conversation with them and tell them that you feel unsafe. Maybe talk to your parents about it.

You should talk to your other relatives. You can also talk to the relative who poses a danger, but tell them how you feel. You are a human being, so are they. Get our family to help!

Perhaps let them know about how you feel and approach them only when you feel/know that you are safe.
