[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be prepared your siblings might not believe yiu or might turn against you. You should see a therapist.[/quote] Unfortunately this.[/quote] Yes, tell them, but make sure you are in therapy first. You may end up protecting a grandchild. You may find out your siblings were abused, though often abusers single out one person so it's less believable. Also, they need to understand why you will not be involved in eldercare. I would have no problem telling anyone who guilt tripped me what happened even staff at an AL. That said, it is likely they won't believe you or will label you the crazy one. That is why you need therapy. Dysfunctional systems often like to maintain homeostasis. It's easier to cast off the crazy one/scapegoat/identified patient than it is to admit your whole childhood was a sham, a person you loved was a monster and you may have heard things and suspected things or even witnessed things and remained silent.[/quote]
