Hi,
We have lived with older sister up until 2 years ago, we still have close ties with her. She knows about our DID diagnosis, knows that DID is strongly correlated with childhood trauma, but we have never told her that we had abuse by parents and older brothers. We are 58, sister is 68. Abuse was in our childhood, so very long ago. Parents passed away 20+ years ago. Have no contact with one brother
and very little with other brother.
We have thought about telling local sister, but have a lot of misgivings, plus want to get feedback from others in a similar situation.
We suspect our sister has a lot of denial, but just not sure how she might react.
But the difficulty for us in staying silent feels burdensome and depressing to us.
So would like some feedback.
Also, please let me know if this belongs in another section of the forum.
Thank you.
