I cannot believe they would defend your brother and leave you suffering beyond all reason, including tarnishing your reputation by telling everyone you were a liar. It's hard to make it on your own, without the support of your family. You have done well to cut the dysfunction from your life, and you should be proud.

Your ability to overcome the undermining influence of your "family of origin" speaks volumes about your strength and courage. Your daughter Megan's words of support also testify to your success in breaking free from your painful past. Bless you for sharing your story. I pray that through the sharing of these stories we're able to make the world a better place. Kate, I’m so glad for you!

I am so sorry for the abuse you suffered at the hands of Bob, and for the further pain you experienced by your family's insistence on denial, betrayal, and lies rather than support and love and healing. I'm glad you got away. Thank you for telling your story. Kate -

I'm appalled by the ways that your birthfamily acted. SO proud of you for speaking out, and detaching yourself from their sickness. Ick. Thank you for sharing. What they did is inexcusable. They'll have a long sentence to serve on the other side, I'm convinced. God, this was painful to read. I’m appalled by the ways that your birthfamily acted.

Bless you for all of them and especially for the person who will read your post and feel empowered to share their own story. Much peace and happiness to you. You deserve both in abundance.
