One would think so @BlueBay - I can well imagine how betrayed you feel - only imagine though - I can't really know
I have heard of other people being ostracised by their family members - even their own parents - when the open up with all the terrible memories they have kept hidden all these years.
One would imagine parents would love and support them - no matter what the age an what the circumstances but this is not the case and I feel for you
My story on that subject - my parents and grandmother left me with some neighbours when they went to a wedding when I was about three - and I had been to the service and I picked up some confetti and took it back to the neighours house - and their teenage daughter and her friend sexually assaulted me with it - and of course my mother found out - and when I told her the truth she did not believe me - I was a dirtly little liar and I was thrashed.
But then I don't think I was ever sent back to that house again.
It has to be among the worst things to be betrayed by your parents in such a way - I feel angry for your sake - and I am shaking my head thinking - "How can a mother do such a thing? - or a father? - or a sister? or brother?"
I know the loneliness of not having your family around - no Christmas or Birthday Cards - no phone calls - the phone hung up in your ear, the door banged in your face and your mail returned.
It is incredible painful - and the pain is beyond description.
My father got over the problems I had with my son - my mother never did - there are times I wake up in the middle of the night and realise they are both dead now - but I did have a good relationship with my father for years before he died.
It's your pain now and maybe a pain you will carry all your life. I am glad you have opened up and shared it - and at least this is one good thing - I don't feel so alone
But you feel alone - you are alone - but one person has heard you
