OH MAN. I think my brother is the worst. "Just get over it" but don't tell me anything about it. My sister and mom recognize I have hard days but don't get why or understand the hard. They don't really want to know any details and will just turn the conversation back to them.

One thing I have figured out is they are in denial and have a lot of guilt because none of them kept an eye on me when I was abused and it was their responsibility. So they can't accept that it happened, although they don't come right out and say that.

As far as my relationships go with them, from my perspective the relationships are all superficial on many levels. I've learned not to trust them with my feelings and thoughts because they only ignore them or deflect them back on me as a weakness.

They on the other hand believe we are so 'close'. HAH! What a mask I wear.
