^ There are no words to describe how awful that is. I'm so sorry you had to experience it. Do you think he's sorry for what he did? Does he own up to it?

The worst part for me, is that I'm not sure if anyone in my family believes me... Some of them even took my decision to disown him as an opportunity to judge me.

I can almost hear most of my relatives saying things like "if _____ (my brother) was so bad, then why did you agree to rent him a room? or go on a vacation with him?". "you're either really stupid, or lying to us... besides, he never did anything to us, so he can't be all bad.".

Well, at least I have one sister who supports me. I talked to her about it recently. and she suggests he may not even remember making the comments about my sexual abuse because he was smoking pot during that time period. Something I didn't know..

But, I still absolutely refuse to have any contact with him until he owns up to what he did in some way. I owe that to myself.
