Today, I was awakened by a small scary dark figure approaching me while making creepy noises. I screamed, kicked it away, and buried my face under my pillow. Later, after braving up, I turned on the lights. It was my sick 3-year-old niece, now dazed and coughing blood. FML

Words can't describe how this story makes me feel. I will say this however, I think you need some very serious psychiatric help.

You know, most people would have turned the light on first. And most people also remember when they're in a house with other people, even when they've fallen asleep in the meantime. So I'm sort of wondering why your first instinct wasn't "It's probably (niece's name)", and instead you went with "Ah! Chucky! ******* die!", then kicked the poor kid. This isn't an FML for you, or even a YDI. I just feel really bad for your niece.

Most of all OP needs to chill. During the night it was happening.

If the niece is visiting, it’s easy to forget a small child is in the house when you are half asleep. And everyone judging, Dont day you never spooked yourself in the middle of the night and had some stupid ass reaction. We are just lucky enough to not have taken out a kid in the process or smart enough not to admit to it.

When a 3 yeard old is coughing up blood because you don't know to react yes you can judge.

I feel bad for your niece, she's the one coughing up blood because your afraid of things that go bump in the night. Grow up.

So I feel for both of you. I hope your niece is okay and hopefully you spoiled her to make up for it. But y'all for all we know OP has chronic nightmares, night terrors, PTSD whatever. And just because her niece is over doesn't mean she automatically knew she was there. She could've fallen asleep early before their niece got there. Give her a break she obviously feels horrible enough.

Assuming nightmares or what ever is a lot to assume from the info given. It still isn't an acceptible reaction to hit something just because you don't know what it is. What could of been that small that could've posed a threat? Chucky isn't real. She could've have sent her niece to the hospital, that goes beyond cutting someone some slack.

Obviously you’ve never had chronic nightmares or a night terror. Just because Chucky isn’t real doesn’t mean that the mind can’t cause you to be scared of something small.

I have thanks for being an ass but I still have control. You grow up and you learn to control your reactions and learn to control yourself. You come out of it, but you are reading way too far into it. Someone in the grips of a night terror is going to be in shock or generally paralised with fear. You aren't going to have the mind to gut kick a small child. The OP just needs to learn control.
