Invisi, that sounds so hard. I learned that families where sibling sexual abuse occurs are dysfunctional in certain ways and this is why the abuse occurs, so your family was already set up before the abuse even happened. It totally follows that they are acting the way they are now with all of this.
Like most of us, we at one time wished for a better family. I remember when I stopped this and moved on to improve my life where it really COULD be improved and this did make all the difference. Of course there is a mourning period of grieving over what never was........
