This is so true. As I read it I was impressed that maybe I have been wrong all these years thinking it was my non-drinking that was the wedge between me and my siblings. But that was just the convient smokescreen. The truth is none of my siblings get along with each other because we all see the abuse we lived through differently. Too bad for me and too bad for them. Sad but true.
