[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh.  I will have to say we have similar stories.  Very similar, but I can't say my mom was abusive.  She has her own issues and we've had our share of problems.

I will say this:  don't contact your siblings unless you are willing to have a relationship with your father.  Realize when you reach out to them you are opening a huge can of worms for them too.

I think your idea of seeing the therapist and working through this with them is a good idea and it will give you some space/time to figure out what you want to do.  Don't do a knee jerk reaction to anything which has happened.

For what it's worth, I chose not to see my father or have a relationship with him.  I don't have a relationship with my half-brother.  We've never met.  I figure if he wants to meet me, the door is open, but I'm not going to pursue him or push myself into his life.  It's just not fair.[/quote]

OP here: Thank you for your advice! I definitely don't plan on reaching out to my half siblings at this time. I think it would be awful timing and I don't even know if they know about me. I definitely am going to make an appointment with the therapist I have seen in the past and talk about this with him as I think it would be helpful for me. I wish my mom would come along too as I think this would be helpful but she wouldn't even come to any of my other appointments about my resentment towards how she treated me growing up so I won't hold my breath.
