[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should believe your sister is how you should proceed. People with attitudes like yours are the exact reason why I have never told my family about the abuse I suffered at the hands of a family member because not being believed would actually be worse than the assault trauma. You suck op. [/quote]

OP here.

I'm very sorry for what happened to you.

I do believe something awful happened to my sister (as I said in my post). In believing her I also think that something terrible clearly must have been done to my brother as well, for him to have behaved in such a way at such a young age. I know a bit about trauma/abuse/childhood development, so having to apply that knowledge to what I'm learning about my own family is what is so foundation shifting.

I also think that secrets are bad and no one should have to keep them in order to avoid further abuse, so I am really sorry you are in that position. As awful as it has been to hear, I'm glad that my sister is talking. There is a lot of trauma and pain in our family, so I hope this can be an important piece of the puzzle as we each are trying to find a way to a healthier, more peaceful place. I wish the same for you pp.[/quote]
