[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Believe victims, period.  I know so many people whose parents/siblings/stepparents didnt believe the abuse they experienced as children because it was inconvenient. Heartbreaking. Hopefully your sister gets the help she needs. Perhaps you can suggest she investigate attachment styles and relationships as childhood trauma can contribute to the type of communication dynamic that seems to be at play with her.[/quote]
Absolutely, always believe the victim. On the other hand, she will not believe you, and she has the right to do that.
If you are truly a good sibling, op, you would reach out immediately, go to her, and talk to her in earnest. Offer all that you can do to help her. Instead, you did what everyone has done, blamed the victim.
I want to believe that this was just the jerk reaction, that you are better than this op. People that choose to do the right thing, can die with peace in their hearts. No matter how hard doing the right thing is. Please reach out to your sister and apologize and be there for her.[/quote]
