Will my Uncle change?

Finding her Uncle at his home with a needle stuck in his arm, Karman hesitated to approach him.



She thought he was dead after so many attempts from his over use of drugs. She asked " are you okay Uncle ?''.
 Falling to the ground he muttered  " Help me, you bitch ", but being afraid from the last incident made her reluctant. Uncle Marvin made unfavorable remarks. Karman remembered how  he was trying to touch her inappropriately  when she was  eleven years old,  this  act she would  never forget. The stench of alcohol from  his breath and the white powdery substance in his nose showed  that he is still doing drugs at sixty years old.


Karman told  her mother Susan at the time she was fondled by her Uncle, but her mother did not believe her. Her mother would scream  " you are lying young lady , my brother would never do such a thing. Go to your room right now and never speak of this again", those words played  over and over in her mind , and anytime she  sees Uncle Marvin she wished  bad things upon him.


As he laid on the living room floor,Karman   thought "should  I let him die , for he was a horrible man to be around?''. She  flashed back to his horrible ways   for instance  after having  a few drinks  he would   relocate the little girls in the house and go to a private part of the house  where no one could see the horrific, abominable   and unholy acts he unleashed onto the little girls. But Karman had pity on him and  finally called her mother who is a nurse to come help him.


When Susan arrived with her medical bag , Marvin her brother was unconscious, he had no  heart beat and was foaming from  the mouth. Starting CPR on her brother and asking Karman to dial 911. Susan broke down and cried , she spoke softly to Marvin asking " why do you continue to do this? " . Marvin did not  respond as she gave another rescue breathe. He finally coughed and raised his head. Susan and Karman were  glad  to see him come around as they waited for the paramedics.



  Arriving at a  Drug Rehabilitation Unit, Marvin was very upset to see that he couldn't release himself  from the hospital. His sister has power of attorney over his life and affairs. He must stay here for a period of eight weeks to see if  he  could  withstand the craving for drugs. He completed the recommended time . Karman came to pick him up from the Rehabilitation center . He had a lot of time to think about his action while receiving  treatment.


Marvin said  " I'm sorry for all the wrong I've done to you in the past , can you please forgive me?''.
Karman kept driving without uttering a word. Marvin broke the  silence and   said  " Please forgive me , I'm a changed  man now''. Karman turned  and looked at him briefly and then  replied  " You  have said that before Uncle  , I have forgiven you multiple times , go and  ask for  forgiveness from  those other young girls whose  lives  you have destroyed  from you doing drugs and had  sexually molested.  I know it won't be long before you go  back to doing drugs again and this time I won't be there to save you''.
