[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus, op-just say I’m sorry to hear about Bob and hope you are well. You are talking about things that happened almost 50 years ago and now the man’s dead. I think it’s time for you to move on from poor baby ill treated little sister role in your mind. [/quote]
I haven't thought about that abuse for decades, actually. When I heard they were together, it all came up. Intellectually, I was aware that they did cruel things to me. Emotionally, I felt hurt and wanted to avoid seeing either of them. These last few years, I've simply avoided them and haven't said a word about the abuse. I am writing about it now because he died and I know I have to acknowledge that to my sister. I posted the question because I have complicated feelings about his death and her loss.
To answer some questions: she babysat me after school. To keep me quiet, they threatened me. The threats included destroying a beloved toy (I was 8) and death. I never spoke of it until I heard they were back together and I told my spouse. For those who think I'm holding on to ancient history, I'm not...it has been unearthed and I'm examining it now as an adult.[/quote]
