My dear sons,
You may wonder why we never see your uncle anymore, I wish there was a better reason, like he is overseas or lives in another state. But the truth is he is a bad man. He is abusive, not just emotionally but physically. I slept with a knife under my pillow from the age of 12, I was terrified he would eventually kill someone and I didn't want it to be me. Unfortunately he has moved back to his parents house. I'm so sorry but you boys can't go and play there anymore!
When you were born I promised I would do my best not to deprive you of anything and I know how much you love going to your grandfathers house! But I just can't let you go there if your uncle is there. Hopefully one day you will understand. My urge and duty to protect you is stronger then my ability to forgive or forget!
Love your sorry mum x

Your doing the right thing
Grandad can come to your house to visit so they aren't totally deprived if he's an important role model? Your doing the right thing not sending them over there
You are doing the right thing, and when they are older and you can explain it to them, they will be thankful for it. I had an uncle like that, who did horrible things to me but I never had the courage to tell anyone, mostly because i knew my dad would kill him if he knew. Best day of my life was the day we found him dead.
My children have a grandfather like this extremely abusive and aggressive. They are only just at the age their asking why they don't see him. I will never let him see my kids. Perhaps depending on age explain to them his nasty or bad and say u don't want them hurt perhaps explain to them grandad can come and visit at your house just not their with their uncle
