Hi Marylin

I've had a lot of therapy over many years. I was definitely the scapegoat in the family. A lot of it I believe was sexual harassment but the reverse. Being a boy I was picked on by my sisters because my mother didn't like the male sex. It's done a lot of damage to my sexuality as a man and relating to women. One sister I can't talk to after memories came to the surface of things she did to me as a boy. She has always come across as very self-righteous can never do anything wrong and is also the golden child. I moved away from the family to preserve my sanity! Yes sibling abuse can be just as damaging as parental or adult abuse. I don't think there is much awareness in society about how damaging siblings can be to a person's psychological development. So now i try to align myself with loving, non-toxic people in my life.
