cheesey 
asked: my father sexually abused me and my little sister, and i truly believe my two brothers. the abuse for my sister and me happened several years ago, about 20 years for me, and more than 6 for my sister. for our state, the statute of limitations has passed and both my sister and me (she is 18 and in AA and NA) are unable to to take prescription drugs…my sister cannot take them because of her alcoholism and drug addiction, and i cannot because i have had addiction problems with prescription meds w/ a mood altering effect. my question is, what are some non narcotic methods for healing from this type of childhood? some anger-management techniques?
my sister has had a very rough life, and has been very self-destructive, and still struggles w/ her “demons,” i have veered in the opposite direction, before my husband, i NEVER dated or even kissed a boy. i am now in a successful marriage and have a beautiful son.
i would like to be able to help my sister deal w/ our past and
help prevent any future problems i might have as the memories continue to come out. my mom was similarly abused and when she was my age, she began to remember, which resulted in 3 failed marriages, abandoning her children, and a very destructive life. i have dealt with this fairly well since i finally admitted this to myself, but i fear that i won’t be able to handle any worse memories.
lol, sorry for the long question, just any opinions please thanks :) as far as forgiving my dad, i suppose you could say that i have. mostly because i know that he cannot touch me and i haven’t seen him since before my son was born. i don’t wish harm on him, mostly i guess i just don’t care about him anymore. i don’t want an apology from him, and i realize no one can ever make sense of what he did, but i need to deal w/ my anger towards the abuse. also, i have trouble w/ intimate situations, and it would be great it that could be resolved.
