Thanks for the points you raised! And to answer your question about impact, I would say that when I reminisce about what mom did I definitely don’t feel good about it all. I hated it when she did what she did, because as a kid and even now I was highly protective of my body and whenever anything was revealed (even when mom would pick sleeveless tops for me) I would feel uncomfortable.
Not sure how that skewed my views on sex and sexuality, but there is something else. My parents never gave me the talk and I had to discover things myself and it lead to a lot of addiction and false or damaged views on sex.
And, I can say this confidently, absolutely hate what my brother did, it definitely broadened my discomfort whenever something similar to what he did happens to me.
Thanks again! It means a lot that you had this supportive tone towards me despite this situation that I have not being terrible.

I'm glad what I said was helpful to you.
I would definitely encourage you to speak with your therapist regarding these things given that it still causes you discomfort and influences how you react to certain things.
Take care and be gentle with yourself as you go through this process, okay?
