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.

Thank you QM. I guess I need to just look at it this way - I'm 58 years old now, started therapy (for real, the first 2 attempts didn't count) when I was 49, so it has been deep work - patterns established in early abuse and then entrenched for that many years before starting the work to unravel them are going to take awhile to change, I suppose. I guess I'm just dang tired of being patient with it all.
