How does everyone handle being around their abusive sibling at family events? My family has no clue, and my brother and I never ever talk about what he did. We act completely normal around everyone...I often wonder if it really happened or if I'm making it up. No one sees how I try to avoid him or tense up when he's close. It's been getting worse the more I've been talking about it in therapy. It's horrible not being able to completely break free from him.
