Hi ET,
I'm very sorry to hear how much it has affected you and your family even to this day. I hope I haven't caused more anguish to you by posting on this thread which has been inactive since 2011, and causing you to think back on these negative events.
I know it is not easy to forget and "get over" such a traumatic experience. Even apologies by the perpetrators will not help keep the hurt and anger away fully. While I was shocked to hear of the abuse on boys, I am further disturbed to learn that the abuse extended to girls in different ways as well. This is, and was, clearly unacceptable.
Our society (today, at least, and in most places) condemns all forms of child abuse, and you and your sibling have my utmost support. I hope you and your sibling will find comfort along the way, and I trust this forum has been a helpful avenue to air your views and find common support among victims of similar abuse.
I wish you nothing but the very best.
