[quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering about that, too. My sibling is currently a complete wreck, and I've wondered what will happen when or if he comes out on the other side of it. Will I be able to put the harmful past behind me? I don't know what your family situation is like, but I could be polite at family gatherings for sure. However, I doubt I would trust the person for quite awhile. I would want to see significant improvement over a period of time. In my case my sibling was hurting his kids (emotional abuse). I'd have to see that things were much better, that he was getting therapy to learn good parenting skills, etc. If he failed to make any attempts at improvement, I'd be very hard pressed to let go of my anger and resentment. That is a long way of asking, do you think you can find a boundary that feels comfortable to you, but lets this person in at least superficially, like family gatherings? [/quote]
