Thank you so much for sharing your horror story.

How have you been able to cope with this? Have you found that avoiding your abusers and refusing to react to their abuse has minimized the negative impacts of their Darvo smear campaigns? I imagine that you have tried desperately to get through to them - only for it to get worse. Am I wrong in assuming this?

Unfortunately so many of us have no choice but to go no contact with these kinds of abusers because there is literally no way to gain our power back when the entire family dynamic tends to believe and protect them. Sadly this leaves us alone and without familial supports, which is heartbreaking. I hope that you haven't had to do such drastic things to protect yourself.

Thanks,

Thank you for the message. I now live in a different city so I visit my family a couple of times a year. I only see my sister at family functions. Since I see her only a few times a year, it is easier not to react to her tactics but she still bullies me and humiliates me in front of them. Therapy has helped. Because she has a very successful career and life (and me not so much partly due to her abuse), everyone is OK with the way she treats me.
