[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm not sure how to share but maybe this will open the door to other potential victims amongst your siblings. Agree you need to share and keep your distance.[/quote]

If my sibling told me that my father abused her but didn't tell me... and I had allowed my children to be around him... I would have VERY mixed emotions. [/quote]

See op there she goes, blaming the victim. And people wonder why people don’t tell. 
I have a very similar story op, but it was an uncle not my father. I had a ton of anxiety when I was pregnant about going to family events, and I knew I would never let the child around him. Thankfully, he died suddenly when I was still pregnant. It was a wonderful day.

In your case, I would definitely not be helping out my parents in their old age. 
There’s probably a reason why your siblings live far away.

I’m sorry that I don’t have any advice about how to tell siblings as I’ve never told mine or my parents, mainly because my mom would side with my aunt and that would’ve been more painful that the abuse.

I would speak with a therapist about wording. But know that you will mostly likely blow up your family and it could make things more painful for you. Best of luck. [/quote]
