Asking for strength for my sister
Ok so story in brief...
My mom and step-Dad are here from Florida-they came on their way to spend a month in Cape Cod-and before they go are spending a week with my sister and I first at the beach!
Last night I get to my sisters and not shortly after-I had left the room and came back in and my sister was crying. The old me would have said "What did you do now Mom" but the new me said to my sister "Are you ok??" and had no ill feelings towards my mom- (Wow growth! woo hoo) anyway-
My sis has refused to go to counseling or Al-Anon but has gone to online Al-Anon rooms. Our brother is an A who is in jail at the current moment had come up...she told us (reason she broke down) last night that when she was 13-15 he tried to attack her sexually. My heart melted.......I could hear the anger in her voice as she was telling us this...she says she has finally dealt with it as it had been repressed for so many years-but she is not sure that she can ever forgive him or confront him for that matter.
She was kind of confused on how A's can actually do things and not have any conscious memory of what they have done. She started to ask me a few questions as I was able to answer a few questions because of our A's in here! (Thank you) Wow how painful for her to be going through this-as she never dealt with my fathers drinking behavior etc....It also explains alot when I had spoke about my XAB why she became so angry.
I'm so happy that my sister is starting to finally at least begin to heal....it is nice to have the start of my sister back! Please send her prayers and strength-that she will continue to grow and heal in her own time.
I will be leaving for a nice vacation to the beach on Friday so I will see ya guys when I get back! I'm going to spend time enjoying LIFE with my sis!

Yes very true CE! We all have gone through tremendous amounts of pain to get where we are today! And still moving on the journey to become an even better me! Tuff road and steps to get there but well worth the effort to live again!
It is hard to see my sis going through this but so grateful that she finally is dealing with her issues she needs too! I cannot help her but, only be there for her without forgetting ME! It feels good!
Thanks everyone! Enjoy your week! I know I will....I will be doing alot of this ---}
