Apparently today is the siblings day and some Facebook friends are posting messages for their siblings. Many of us were abused by our siblings, and I had a very bad experience as I was abused by a younger sister which made it mentally very humiliating. So dear sister, thank you for:
- beating me up every single day, often in front of neighbourhood kids and cousins;
- constantly bullying and tormenting me;
- all your kicks;
- verbal and physical threats;
- all those bruises;
- slaps to my face;
- punches;
- sending me to hospital twice (last time, there was a risk of permanent damage);
- making me feel ashamed all the time;
- giving my food to your boyfriends so I had to eat cereal for dinner;
- making me do all your chores;
- bragging to everyone for beating me up;
- nightmares I am still having; and
- my lifetime low self esteem.

Hope you enjoy your day!

If you are a victim of sibling abuse, I wish you strength today.

I wasn't a victim of sibling abuse, and I'm so sorry for those people who were. On the other hand, a therapist told me had I not had a sibling, I would have become psychotic due to abuse by my mother. Thank the Lord for my sibling!

I had a very good relationship with my sister until two years ago, she turned on a dime and discarded me.

Things like Siblings Day, and all the constant reminders like sappy tv and films perpetuating the idea of how our loved ones have our backs and unconditionally love are depressing when a reminder to those of us who suffer pain from that being the opposite for us.

Damn you, Hallmark.

Trigger warning: I suffered abuse from my brother. Physical, verbal and sexual, from what my patchy memory is allowing me to remember. I never told anyone about the latter. My Mum knew about the rest but was too ill/weak to intervene. My relationship with my brother deteriorated to the point of non existence (though to be fair my relationship with every human being faded away too) We got back in touch later in life and now 'get on' well, but this is still all unspoken. I am now in therapy trying too deal with it all but how on Earth can I make sense of it. How can I marry up the past with the present. It feels like an impossible task. I cannot forget. I cannot forgive. But I also don't want to lose what I have now with him as an adult. It just seems so impossible and I can't talk to anyone close to me about it because he is in my life and I don't want to change the status quo of how my family see him, I don't think. I'm so sorry you went through all of what you did. No one should ever be treated like that.

I’m sorry that your sister did that to you. My brother were all mentally I’ll and mentally unstable and physically and mentally abusive and very jealous of everyone where one of my sister stole my stuff or made sure that I didn’t get anything that I wanted. To my mom my niece and nephew were angels and I was scapegoat.
