I held a shotgun to my grandfather's head while he slept

My grandfather was extremely emotionally abusive. He always talked down to me and made me feel extremely small. I never felt that I could amount to what he was. His harsh punishments, in retrospect weren't that horrible, before a young, 13 year old boy living in deep east Texas, they were so shattering.

One night, I grabbed a 410 shotgun, walked into his room, held it up to the side of his head, and I did pull the trigger. Stupid me forgot that I didn't load the damn shotgun. I knew that racking would wake him up, so I just kept back to my room, I went back to bed.

We have an okay relationship now, but for one moment, as a child, he almost didn't wake up. I haven't told him, and I wont.
