Thank you for your post. I can relate to your story. I grew up getting beaten up by my sister almost every day. She kicked me, punched me, slapped me and threatened me all the time. It was very humiliating as I was the older brother. I would go to school pretending everything was OK. I was also terrified to go home after school, especially if my parents were not home. People in school knew she could beat me up so they teased me a lot about it. I am still scared of her and she still bullies me and orders me around. I live in a different city now. Other than with my therapists and self help forums, I don’t share this with anyone.
