Hi HippieChick – I am 22 years old, my oldest brother also lives with us. She doesn’t talk to anyone in our family, my brother has basically shut her out of his life but he’s more access to going. I can’t move out because I don’t have a job and im in school, along with the mental illness just going to school is difficult enough. If I moved out I would be homeless and broke, the financial situation has got me stuck here

Hi Eli – thanks for sharing your story, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only who deals with this

Hello Anita – I understanding what you are saying but that ship has sailed a long time ago, I really don’t feel love towards her or anything. She would always treat me badly and then say she loves me, after years of this of constant torment that area just ended up shutting down, that “i don’t need love if it just hurts me”. I want to move out and limit or cut all contact with her but the only way I could is to become a sex slave

Thank you all for replying, it really means a lot to be able to talk and be heard. Thank you
