Re: Brother has had sexual contact with sisters - what now?
A “friend” of his (I remember this person. No father in the house, he likely acts as the man-in-charge) told him to do it to his siblings in the washroom, since he wouldn’t get caught. Now obviously my brother should know right from wrong, and I’m in no way simply blaming this person he knows/knew as of today, but this is where it started. My stupid brother seems to take guidance, be it right or wrong, from anyone but his parents, or experienced adults.
Father says that the young ones need to simply “forget” what happened, and they’ll eventually come to terms with this case. He can’t have them going around speaking of what happened whenever they like. Understandable from his side, but this means convincing him + mother to offer them therapy is difficult, if not impossible. Plus no one simply “forgets”. I know of a female who was abused. After passing her twenties, she still recalls the incident and is slightly afraid it might affect her sexual life. Don’t know when it happened to her, but the consequences are evident. Household separation doesn’t seem to be an option here, either. I’m only a son with limited power, and right now my options are trying to change my mother’s stupid mindset and habits, to make sure she speaks with them, while attempting to discuss this incident with my sisters myself.
