[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP, this must be very difficult. I've not been in your situation, but what I do know is that, a lot of time we spend a great deal of time thinking about something, and become convinced we know how our relatives would react, but if we do bring it up, the reaction may be completely different. Ultimately, it's important to understand that your siblings are separate people and you cannot know whether they would tune you out, be supportive, or anything in between. And there is really no way to tell them without opening yourself up to hurtful responses. Or possibly finally receiving comfort. If your goal is to share the information so that your siblings don't think of you badly for distancing yourself from your parents, I think you should work on figuring out why their opinion matters, and if it should. If you don't have close relationships with them at this point, I don't think you owe them anything, but you owe yourself some peace over this. [/quote]
