I know I am not the last survivor of these things but In my family I feel like I am.
Fast forward from my growing up to now. I have 2 sisters and a brother. I am the only one who is not, has not, and never will have a dependency. My sister, I ll call her "K", and brother, I'll call him "T" were both sexually abused by the same uncle. On top of that "K" also abused "T" who in turn sexually abused my daughter and K's daughter. K's daughter, I'll call her "C", also was abused by a man that K lived with. Then I found out that C was having sex with her cousin. When I told both my sisters that this was going on between their children I got the blame for trying to ruin Xmas. Guess what? I don't care if I ruined Xmas this was something that had to be stopped. These kids needed therapy and to be let know this was wrong. Of course they didn't get it. I am the only one in the family who wants to acknowledge that any of this is f ' ed up. It seems that everyone else wants to sweep it under the rug and go on like it never happened. Have another beer, smoke another joint, pop another pill. What ever they need to NOT deal with it. Don't they realize this is why the cycle of sexual abuse continues.
