How would you feel if you learned that a family member was a sex offender who had spent time in prison, and is currently on the sex offender registry?

My youngest brother is trying to get us to have a family dinner. He wants to bring family members from our mum's side, and dad's side. My issue is that I've learned that one of my uncles on my mum's side is a sex offender. He has spent time in prison, and is currently on the sex offender registry. I don't know what specific crime he committed, as that information isn't available to the public. I also don't know how long ago he was convicted, as he is retired now. I just know that he is on the registry. He doesn't live near me at the moment. Recently he has moved to the same city as us for treatment of some health issues. Another issue is that this uncle did not tell us; we had to find out ourselves. My brother doesn't know as I haven't told him. He also hasn't told our family members on my dad's side, as far as I know. I don't know if my mum knows, but I think she probably does.<br><br>How would you feel if you learned that a family member was a sex offenders? Personally I feel disgusted at the fact that we have one in our family, and I don't want to be around him at all. This isn't the first criminal issue in our family but it's still a huge issue for me. I feel like I won't be able to be myself if he's around, and I'll be worried about my girlfriends' safety since he'll be around them if he's invited (they're completely unaware of all this at the moment and I don't know if I should tell them).<br><br>Also there's the issue of how our family are going to perceive me if I don't want to be around him, and if I don't want to eat with him. My brother is already mad at me because I don't have time for family stuff, because I'm always busy, and I don't want to be the bad one in the picture again. But if I'm going to reach out to my uncle who is a sex offender, that's going to bother me a lot mentally.<br><br>&#x200B;
