[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having had sexual abuse in my own family, I think this behavior gets normalized. Siblings of the abusers have a different relationship with them and fond memories. It also creates a lot of family drama to not attend holidays, etc. I know in my own family, the abuser is allowed to come to all holidays because he "needs the support". The rest of us can choose whether to be around him or not. If we choose not, we are ruining the holiday and abandoning the family.[/quote] This. I am not a victim of sexual abuse, but of verbal and emotional. The system protects itself at all cost. You are the bad guy if you refuse to pretend everything is OK. Also, many, many people grapple with denial after abuse. He allows the kids near the abser because a part of him refuses to accept it happened, even when he verbalizes it. Also, again the forces that want to pretend the family is normal are strong.[/quote]
