In our situation, there are 2 types of families: the supportive family, and the family in denial.
The supportive family believes us, cares for us, tries to understand and tries to help, even if it was a family member that abused us.
The unsupportive family is a tree of many different branches. Some members don’t, can’t believe it happened. Some members deny the abuse, even though they may have witnessed it, been apart of it, or even been abused themselves. Some perpetuate the abuse. Some call us liars. Some are still abusive to us. Some still try to control us.
Some of us have to break all ties with our family, and its often the hardest thing we have to do.
How are things in your family? How do you deal with it?
