[quote=Anonymous]Good luck, OP. You sound like a wonderful aunt. I truly hope you are able to bring this girl into your home and let her be a 10-year-old child again. What she has seen she cannot unsee, but I certainly hope that with love and attention and time she can find happiness and a feeling of safety. I think the way you talk about your brother to her is important--let her know that you believe strongly that he needs help but that someone can be sick and hurting and we can still love them. Sometimes they need more help than we can give them--it is important that she know she has done everything right and nothing wrong. My guess is that she has been trying to protect him and herself for so long she has taken on the burden of what happens to him. She is probably very confused about her loyalties, her obligations, her feelings. This is her only surviving parent, so this is even more complicated. God bless you and good luck.[/quote]
