My parents want me to stop by for Thanksgiving. I told them I'm going to Thanksgiving with my husband family not theirs. The reason is that me and my husband recently had a child together. My brother abused me when I was 5-6ish and he was like 10-11ish but my parents don't quite believe me. I understand why they don't want to he's their son and it's hard to deal with your son being a rapist and on top of that my brother has tried to kill himself and guilt trips my parents about how they raised him and stuff like that. He essentially blames all his problems on everyone else his suicide attempt his acholism his failures in school in life his poverty but he never really worked all that hard for anything. I used to excuse his actions too I blamed myself for the rape and everything else but he hurt me and never even apologized or acknowledge it. Now I have a baby and I want to protect her I don't want to keep pretending what happened didn't just to satisfy my family. I don't want to go to Thanksgiving or any of the holidays from now on but how can I tell my parents that. My sister just recently cut ties with them I don't want to do that but, after all that's happened I'm really beginning to see just how messed up this all is how messed up my childhood was part of me wants to ignore it but the love I have for my child the fear I have that she's gonna suffer if I repeat my parents mistakes is so much stronger.
