That's to be applauded because when you were finally able to help her, you did without hesitation. Thank you for having the courage to share your and your sister's story.

I changed my family name too. When shunned by family I told them that they were just as bad as they endorsed rape, torture and mental abuse by supporting the abuser and turning against the victim. I know I caused cracks in their glass houses. I'll never be included in a family reunion but thats ok because I don't want to be associated with their ilk. I feel free for naming him for what he is. I hope you find in your own ways some healing, peace and freedom from your pain. Thank you for having the strength to stand up for your sister, which I think is the greatest gift next to your love.

So very sorry that you and your sisters were subjected to this sick monster. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do about men. A couple of generations ago, I am sorry to admit, it reportedly happened in one of my family lines, too. Very sad. My thoughts and compassion will always be with you. To Anonymous:

I don't know the pain from your side of it. I don't even wish to imagine. Somehow, it feels like it would be worse because so many want to protect and then to feel this way.
