Finally realizing that through my adolescence and early adulthood my relationship with my sister was emotionally abusive (her to me) not claiming o was an angel, but I was not abisive. She had a lot of hurts over a difficult relationship with my dad and I think I was the Emptional punching bag. Things are a lot better now. But still feels important for me to acknowledge to myself.

Any good books or articles on the topic?

In terms of abuse emotional abuse seems to be a "grey" area sometimes and sibling abuse is a type that's rarely talked about so
I'm realizing it's been kind of the elephant in the room

I'm not aware of any, but I'll check on the Internet and see if I find anything. Be back in a bit...

Okay, here's a link to some books about it through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&pag...ibling%20abuse Click on the picture of the book and information about it will show up.

Hope they help! Such abuse is a really bad thing, and I'm glad you're coming to terms with it.

The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans saved my life. I highly recommend it.

Thanks nicoleflynn for your recommendation, also travelling for feedback.

I had no idea what to advise to AncientM, but wanted to help.

You see, I do remember hearing about 'The Silent Twins' out of the UK years ago. Apparently they had Barbados heritage (dont know the details).

I was saddened b/c they grew to hate each other & when one of them died the other was not particularly sad. the scan happen when issues remain unresolved or space isn't respected somehow.

AncientM is addressing the issue before it gets to a scale too huge to endure.

Hope it al works out!

This book helped me a lot too,it helped me makes sense of the crazy never ending verbal circular arguments my sister put me through and was the beginning of me getting back some control over her verbal and emotional abuse of me.It helped me to see her abusing me was deliberate and she stopped for a long while when I picked her up on it with the help of this book.I highly recommend it too,I can also say it saved my life.

You aren't alone, I feel like no one can relate with me, and you're correct no one ever talks about sibling abuse.

I just typed in "sibling abuse" into Google and a slew of titles popped up:

1. Sibling Abuse: Hidden Physical, Emotional and Sexual Trauma.
2. What Parents Need to Know About Sibling Abuse.
3. Girl In the Water: A True Story of Sibling Abuse
4. Sibling Abuse Trauma: An Assessment...
