Re: Brother has had sexual contact with sisters - what now?
My sisters are very close to me, closer than they are to my mother and father at times. I’ve loved them and cared for them since they were children, and as a result, they carry unwarranted respect for me. They’re willing to listen to whatever advice I may offer them. Still, I cannot replace their parents, nor can I assume that I have the right advice every time. There is a problem with my mother ‘‘being a mother.’’ That’s harsh to say, but true.
I spoke with my father tonight, after speaking with my brother (not concurrently). He listened to what I had to say, and is much more cooperative than I thought (he is their father after all. It’s his bad grooming habits that get in the way.). He wants me to teach my brother and make sure that he changes his attitude, since he’s not up to the task. I was also told to make him read the thoughts of the people on this thread, so that he may see the anger people have for his appalling behaviour.
