Hi everyone
I haven't posted in a while, but now I feel I need to. I am very confused and lost right now, scared even. The holidays don't help of course.
So here it is with a brief background to how this happened or is happening.
My sisters boyfriend, who is supposedly her fiance is in prison, he is supposed to be getting out quite soon. Before he went in he lived with my family to "be" with my sister for the time he had left that started as a week and turned into the entire summer and fall of last year. My sister was in college in the city, he went with her most times, but when he would stay here, if my parents werent home he would come on to me and offer me "sexual" experience. As I am a survivor of abuse this was very threatening. When I told my parents, they sort of didnt believe me and shook it off. Other than my mother, my entire family does not like him. He didn't work or contribute anything while he was here, and was believed to manipulate my sister and Mom, and at one time attempted to put my sister against me.
Ok so here is what is going on now, as I said he is about to come out. My sis is trying to blackmail my Mom into letting him come back to live in this house by threatening she will run away with him. My step-dad who is so fed up with him said that if he does come back he will move out and leave my mom. When I told my mom I felt that I didnt want him back here either, especially since they are going away for two weeks in december leaving me here alone with my sister and possiblly him, I told her I wouldn't stand for it. It was then that I said I would leave as well. Her reply was that she couldn't bare to lose a daughter (meaning my sister) that I would lose her (my mom) if I left.
So here I am stuck in a hard place that is tearing me apart. Even worse, we were in the process of our seasonal decorating which we would always do together. I have not spoken to her since I walked out. I am afraid to be the first to say something.
I can't stop crying and don't know what to do, I don't want to lose my Mom or my Sister because of a very bad person.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
ESP. you mom..i mean...geez...what the hell is she THINKING??
i would not leave your house and let this guy hurt the rest of your family, i would stick it out and let him know if he ever touched me, i would call the cops.
i would think eventually your sister will wise up and kick someone out that is hurting her family, but i just don't know.
goodluck
I think it is an empty threat. She is looking for a place of her own, but has no money. She works as a pastry chef but keeps jumping jobs and has loans to pay off. A big dream with no reality.
I have never been withought my mom, she was there for me through everything, and now that I am finally doing so well, I feel like I'm losing her. She is under alot of stress, but I need to have boundaries which keep getting harder to maintane.
