Phase One: Facing Our Abuser...
by cognac ini think an important part of facing my parents is first writing a letter to my brother - who got it the worst.
then, i will talk with him and see if he would like to do this with me.
but, first and foremost, he has to know how i feel.

I need help in facing our abuser...
by cognac inthe thought of it scares me so much i can't even think straight... just writing this makes my heart race like you wouldn't believe.. i need to face my dad and mom.
my dad abused us, my mom allowed the abuse.
i need to face him with my two older brothers - the ones who got it the worst and who never faced them about it.... i know my mind will go blank so i'm simply going to write out what i have to say and read it to them.

I think an important part of facing my parents is first writing a letter to my brother - who got it the worst. Then, I will talk with him and see if he would like to do this with me. But, first and foremost, he has to know how I feel. Below is the letter. Let me know if you think I'm missing something. I will give this to him today and hopefully have a talk with him tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.
Dear ****,
I just wanted you to know that you are my hero. I think about almost every day how strong of a person you are. Every day growing up, you were a shield to us. Every day, I wanted to protect you, but I was too weak. Every day, I try to forgive myself for not even trying to stand up for you. But you, ****, always stood up for us. You were the brunt of everything. You were the strong one.
I just wanted to make sure you knew that. That you knew how much I love you and how sorry I am.
I’m sitting here trying to figure out a way to let you know how strong of a person I think you are and how much I love you and what you mean to me. But, there really are no words. I just hope that somehow you can understand the gratitude and love that I hold and always will hold in my heart for you.
Love Always,
Cognac

Thank-you Lady Lee... I think it's just gonna take some time to really comprehend. I understand the logic, I don't understand how when push comes to shove her heart wouldn't have won out...
You cognac, Lady Lee, Jamie (my hero who saved me my first night on JWN) would get a free pass.
Everyone who survives this kind of abuse is a hero in my books.
This brought tears to my eyes... Thank-you... I thought about my oldest brother when you said that. He is my hero. He got it so much worse then the rest of us. Yet, he came out a strong person. I don't know how he did it. But, your statement not only touched my heart, but also made me realize that I have to tell him that...
