That's what worries me more than anything... I really could just be remembering things differently, wrongly. Then I know nothing is real and I'm just as insane as my mom says I am.

That's what made me wonder in the first place. Wouldn't it be so much easier if my brother hadn't done the things he did? It is probably easier for my mom to say I'm imagining things than to admit she raised a monster like him... or, at least, to even see him as being a monster. But when I went to the police to finally, after all these years, make a report, she acted like the stereotypical shocked mom who never knew... How could she not know? I never stopped telling her! But she says she never knew... So I don't know. Maybe I didn't say it right. Maybe she didn't know because of some failing of mine. I just don't know.
