)))))))) ) ) Lindsay ((((((( ( ( Welcome to PC I am soooo sorry your brother made your life a living hell. You did nothing to deserve it. A similar thing happened to a friend.... she didn't get help til later in life and still struggles today, 40-50 years later. I think all of us would agree that if you don't already have a therapist to talk to, now would be a great time to hook up with one.

Look in the phone book under rape crisis center/hot line or battered women's shelter and ask them for references to a woman counselor/therapist/shrinks or maybe they have free groups where their offices are located that you could join.

My Dad was in my diapers. I know what it is to have no safe space to call your own. I found a group of women who had also been through incest made for a very safe space to talk about my own experience and to hear other women's sstories and really get it that We Did Not Do Anything To Deserve It.

Keep posting.
