Maybe that's why. Because I'm the oldest and was in it the longest.
I think so yeah. You were in it the longest. I'm the 3rd of 4 but was in it the abusive environment longest due to factors such as gender. Same environment can affect each sibling very differently for sure.

I'm the only one still in therapy too and I suppose I see it as healing myself because I can't force my siblings to want to heal. Some people need more time in therapy, especially when it's deep work.
