Please don't try to deal with this by yourself. It may well be time to put some distance between you and your brother in order to move forward. Consider some type of counseling in order to help you deal with all this. Don't to yourself what your parents did. They forgot about YOU. They didn't understand that your brother was himself a sex offender; and could well still BE an offender. Get help. And at this point, just stop communications with this obviously insensitive and troubled brother of yours. Talking with him is NOT helping you. This is less about what he deserves and more about what YOU deserve: help. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

It makes me extremely sick to hear what your brother did to you and how your parents allowed him to get away with everything. But you must forgive him...not for him but for you. Forgiveness is for the betterment of the soul. I also think that you might need some therapy with what you are going through now, it is ok to get help. As for how your brother treats you now....I can only suggest that you completely stop all contact with him, so that you as an individual can heal.

Hey Mik, I hear you and can empathize with you. I know what is it like to be a victim of your family, I live with those scars too. In my family the man was always revered and the woman was blamed for enticing the male.
I really do encourage you to find a councellor whos expertize is working with Abused Women, you need to get all of that anger out and channelled in a safe environment. Talking really helps, you might feel embarressed or ashamed but it is not your shame it is your families remember you were a defensless little girl, none of what happened was your fault. It took me many years of therapy to finally say to myself that I was not to blame i was the victim like you.
I wish you all of the very best Mik and please for yourself and your husbands sake stay away from the ones that have hurt you. look after you, you are important, you matter:))

Thank you
by: Mik

Thank you all so much for your comments. I feel very touched you all took the time. I've read your advice many times and will continue to. I wish I could stop contact with my brother but when I tried that years ago it caused me more difficulties with my parents and I wasn't strong enough to deal with it so I find it easier to just pretend. I think I will have to wait for them to reach the end of their lives and only then can I say goodbye to my brother with no fear of judgement from them. It doesn't cloud my life daily, I stopped the memories controlling me years ago with help from a friend and my husband and counselling in my 20's. But it just doesn't go away and every now and then creeps up unexpectedly. Anyway thanks again and I will work on all the much appreciated advice.
