[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was abuse in the family a long time ago and these are the lasting effects -- I'm talking 50 years ago -- so it seems absurd to me (I'm not even 50 yet!). But this is definitely residual effects of our abusive father (and enabling mother). Is a 9-yr old able to understand this? What do I say to the kids when they ask about thei rest of the family?[/quote] WTF!! You think they should get over the abuse because it was 50 years ago? As someone who grew up with physical and emotional abuse, just because I've moved on doesn't mean I'm over it and willing to have a relationship with my abuser.[/quote]
