[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like your family of origin was pretty horrific OP. I think the posters saying to focus on what is actually yours to deal with are right. You can't change the past, and if you didn't inflict the harm then you aren't responsible for fixing things now. I have addict siblings also and it's a whole set of difficulties trying to know what is or isn't true, or what to react to or not, just with those dynamics. I can't imagine adding the trauma of sexual abuse onto that decades later and trying to untangle things. In my opinion, at some point we're all adults and we're all responsible for figuring out how to work through our junk ourselves. Whatever I was put through as a kid I have to deal with as an adult but that's my responsibility - no one else's. I wish you luck![/quote]
