TRIGGER WARNING- Abuse. My sister has a history of abusing me: How can I move on?

How did she force you to lie to the police?

Sounds like youā€™re fully taking on that victim roll and also put your own kids in a place where they could be victimized too. Does ur ā€œfianceā€ have family? U just need to move on and cut all toxic family off. No contact. Start from scratch and pray pray pray to God for the answers.

First off if you were molested by her wtf would you let your own kids stay with her? You put them at risk. Iā€™d of never forgave her, trusted her or anything. The best thing you could have done was to move on without her. Thatā€™s protecting yourself and especially your own kids. Your kids deserve that. Your nieces will eventually grow up and theyā€™ll be adults and you can rekindle your relationship with them then. Heal yourself and stay away from toxic sick people family or not.

Iā€™m curious why after what she did to you previous MOLESTATION you would allow your kids there in the 1st place. You put your kids in harmā€™s way and are asking strangers to advise you what to do?? Seek mental help ASAP

If your sister abused you why did you think your kids would be better off with her. You said she molested you. So you just admitted to sending your kids to stay with a molester.

This is hard, especially trying not to pass judgementā€¦your kids are at least safe with you! There are resources to help families and children, you may have to do some footwork, but DO NOT SEND THOSE CHILDREN BACK TO THAT MONSTER!! I would look into maybe Camden county womenā€™s center, see if they can helpā€¦

She needs anger management -counseling -because itā€™s only gonna continue !fir your kids safety n yours Iā€™d put down boundaries visit on your terms your home no violence tolerated or any form of abuse n stand firm on that ;ā€)

Really? Protect your children! Move on, donā€™t look back. And learn how to fight.

Why would you send your kids to stay with someone who abused you in every way?
Thatā€™s bad parenting & the fact that yā€™all lost jobs is no justification for such a poor choice.
You should be asking yourself why youā€™ve accepted the abuse for so long.
You canā€™t change anything thatā€™s happened so all you can do is move forward & make better choices when it comes to your kids. As far as the sister, that relationship would be completely over with no amending. Sheā€™s only treated you that way because you accepted it. Now itā€™s time to stand up for yourself like a grown ass woman whoā€™s raising humans who learn from you. If you ever come across that sister again in passing Iā€™d beat her ass on sight. Iā€™d beat her ass for every foul thing sheā€™s ever done. She would know not to ever try me again after I was done with her.
Yes you wonā€™t have a relationship with her kids but youā€™ll have the peace of mind of never having to accept that abuse ever again.
I love my sisters dearly but if I had one who treated me as you say youā€™ve been treated Iā€™d probably be serving time right now because Iā€™m not standing for nobody beating my ass or abusing me in any manner.
Itā€™s a sad time we live in where the ones whoā€™s supposed to love us are the exact ones who treat us the worse.
I wish you & your family blessings and healing

Woah easy on the hateful comments. Whatā€™s done is done. Stop judging her because she decided to leave her kids with her sister that she had grown to trust. She obviously wouldnā€™t have done that if she didnt trust her. She obviously didnā€™t think she would do to her kids what she did to her. Iā€™m sure she feels guilty enough and doesnt need all this negativity!

Your sister needs to be removed from you life. Its better for you and your family. It will make you happier healthier and safer in the long run. It is very difficult at first but very worth it. Just take it day by day and remind yourself why you decided to cut her from your life. Stay strong. :heart::heart::heart:

Completely ditch her! She is not family!

Giving your kids to your sister was a cop out and putting them at risk of the abuse that is still revalant. You should both be locked up ā€¦monitored visits and counseling. I have been on both sides. Hard truth has to be seen.

First of all, why would you trust someone such as her with your children knowing what sheā€™s capable of.
Secondly, learn your laws. Follow up with your police department and let them know why you chose to wait to press charges. Law enforcement will not hold that against you. Theyā€™re there to help! Youā€™re a victim!
Thirdly, theyā€™re your kids. Raise them. You never know, youā€™re struggle could be their struggle later in life and by covering it up from a distance doesnā€™t make the financial situation disappear. Be the best YOU can be for YOUR kids, not for your sister!

Please donā€™t seek advice for something like this from a Facebook group. This kind of thing requires a trained professional. I realize you just lost your income and times are tight, but this needs counseling. And so do you because of your past. You need help healing and moving on from this trama. Seek counseling.
Facebook and the general internet population will only make this matter worse. Most responses on this page are not rational and are filled with emotion, which will only escalate this.

Walk away and never look back

Thatā€™s not a sister and you donā€™t need someone like that around you or your kids

what a bullshit story no way she would send her kids there

You did the right thing leaving with your children. They are #1. I know it hurts right now about your sister. And Iā€™m truly sorry for that. But that incident should be more than enough to remind you daily why you canā€™t ever have a relationship with her. You can still love her, she is your sister but you for your sake and your childrenā€™s sake should keep distance.

Your nieces will remember your love! If you can- let them know. IM ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU, YOU CAN CONTACT ME ANYTIME- But stay away,break this cycle. Most likely they are also victims of the same type of abuses by her. They will not blame you and totally understand. Iā€™m so sorry you lived through it and then had a quick reminder. Youā€™ll be fine without her, sometimes that mentality of fam no matter- is not the correct type thinkin. You must make a stand- peace in your mind, heart and soul is the stance for you and your small fam. Do your best to make sure that there memories are not like yours. Peace and God bless sis!

That is so sad, but I wonā€™t take shit even if she is my sister, specially on front of my kids,:pensive: she just took on a level of incredibly low on the eyes of your kids and her.

TIME TO FILE AN ASSAULT CHARGE ON HER ā€¦there is no talking or trusting her again, cut the ties and set the boundariesā€¦file it.

Walk away now and cut off all ties and communication!!! I just had yo do that with my younger sister. She was my only living relative. Not easy, but necessary!!!

You move on and donā€™t let her back into your life. Sheā€™s proven she canā€™t change and good thing this showed you because your children couldā€™ve been seriously hurt! Let it go. Anytime you think about it you just put it out of your head and think about your kids and whatā€™s the next move. Goodluck it gets easier though

Keep your kids with you. Even if you have to stay in a 1 bedroom flat till your back on your feet. They will learn life lessons on dealing with adversity.
Not the best choice sending to your sister but you have shown them that you donā€™t put up with that. Definitely hold an open ongoing conversation with them about it so it doesnā€™t become their trauma. If you have the strength call the police and report it. Minimize contact with your sister. It may mean your kids dont see their cousins. If you make that report and sheā€™s abusing her kids at any point it will help them immeasurably.
Not an easy situation. I had to cut my parents so lost a lot of other relationships with it.

You have the right to protect yourself and your children from toxic people even if itā€™s family. She doesnā€™t feel bad for hurting you you shouldnā€™t feel bad for cutting her out of your life. Sheā€™s shown you who she really is over and over. Cut her out. God bless.

Do just that move on with your family and your children and cut her toxicity out of your life

First she needs a therapist to about her issues

Youā€™re as fucked up as she is. You admit sheā€™s done awful things to you (including molestation!) yet you subject your children to her knowing what she is. Youā€™re a damn fool for leaving them there and for not having her locked up to finally pay for her actions. No sympathy here. The second you left them with her, knowing sheā€™s a monster, you both should be locked and forced to do therapy with supervision visits for your children. Youā€™re never going to get heal or get better without intense therapy. Neither are the kids you knowingly put at risk. Good luck but damn.

You need to pray for her.All that she has done to you forgive her so you can heal and move past all that. When your nieces gets older contact them and tell them your story.

Thereā€™s clearly something wrong with her , she takes things to the extreme, and I doubt this is only aimed at you , she has no control over herself.

I would press charges.
the life situation canā€™t ever be that bad that you send your own children to a molester. and your husband agreed to it. smh.
hopefully she didnā€™t molest your own kids. now theyā€™re traumatized. congrats!!
some people have to learn the hard way and yes some of us havenā€™t been living with abusive people and it might be a struggle being unemployed for a while but woman, your children always come first!! never ever look back, this bitch is crazy.
I really canā€™t imagine what Iā€™ve just read :flushed::flushed:

Time to cut the tieā€™s.
What a sad situation having to deal with someone as close as a sister verbally and physically abusing you all your life, you absolutely do not have to participate in this just because you are genetically connected.
You will no doubt be accused of causing the problems for not being a loyal sister, narcissists always do this, but remember you dont have to show any loyalty to a person family or not who abuses you and your children.
Other family members may not be receiving the same level of abuse and may not understand your reaction but just be grateful no one else is subject to the abuse.
Its the abusers children I feel sorry for here, make sure you let them know that they are always welcome to your home as a safe place to go when their mother is directing her abuse at them :cry:

If she was that bad fancy then leaving your own children specially when you yourself brought up violence and molestation like fucking reallyā€¦ idiot

You need to cut her out if your life so you can work on the best version of yourself possible so your kids can benefit and learn to break the generational curses

one straight advice, TELL THE COPS. A crime should never go unpunished, EVER!

Sister or not Iā€™d be done with her absolutely disgusting. And personally I donā€™t understand why you would allow your children to go live with her knowing what she has done to you :thinking: take your kids and get as far away from her as bloody possible!! :pensive: Obviously hasnā€™t changed and doesnā€™t deserve even more chances

So far you are doing right. But CONTACT THE COPS!!!

I would advice you forgive her for all she did to you, but give her a lot of space for now, if she decides to call and apologize for hurting you, still talk and accept her apologies but never you call her back for now, and always pray to God to change her bcos sheā€™s only the blood family u have. Good luck :+1:t3:

Sometimes you have to love family from a distance. You have a family of your own to protect meaning you yout husband and your children. It hurts but you canā€™t control someone elses behaviour. Walk away anf donā€™t look back when the neices and nephew get older and if they want to have a relationship with you, you can without your obviously disturbed sister in the picture. Good luckā€¦

Talk to therapist. I had abusive brothers growing up and I donā€™t trust them at all, not even with my kids. Except 1 cause heā€™s the good one. It never bothered me not being able to see nephews or nieces. Drop them all if need be and keep going.

God said love yo family doesnā€™t say u have to deal with them sorry but not sorry your nieces know u love them n thatā€™s all that matters.

First of all, why the hell would you send your kids to live with her? She is a monster. Stay away from her and never ever let your kids around her again.

Your stupid to leave your children with a adult that you knew had a history of abuse. ! This is not judgement but a fact ! Does she treat your children that way ? Your a idiot !

This screams stockholme syndromešŸ˜£ Keep walking and never look back. Not going to bash you about the children as you are being bashed enough. Seek therapy so you can see this is disfunctional. You may need to question your children about any abuse that may have taken place. You were not protected but you must protect yours at all costs. When your nieces are grown they can find you. But bearing in mind they were raised by your sisterā€¦ so becareful with them too in future.

Pray for her my ass, GO BEAT HER FRICKEN ASS TO A PULP AND THEN NEVER TALK TO THE BITCH AGAIN!!!

Wtfā€¦ first off, just because shes family doesnt mean you canā€™t cut tiesā€¦ why would you send your kids to another person, especially one with a history of violence just because you lost jobs? Im just not understanding any of thisā€¦ seems pretty obvious to meā€¦ cut her off, dont talk or visit, take your kids home, move on with your life.

First off you should have NEVER sent your children to a person ( I donā€™t care if she is your sister) who verbally, physically abused and Molested you as a child. You put your children in great danger. Secondly just because sheā€™s family DOES NOT mean she needs to be in your life. You did the right thing my getting your kids and getting the hell away from that psycho!! . Now for your safely and that of your children, stays away.

I believe your sister is in need of deliverance. But itā€™s not something you can get involved in, the best thing you can do is pray for her and leave her in Gods hands. You need to go to church and seek Jesus, believe me this separation is protection. Jesus has his hand on you right now, He will help you through this. Seek Jesus.

Walking away from your loved ones, is very hard. Iā€™ve had to do it despite just wishing for a relationship with my mother and sister, for my whole live. There was 5 born from my mother, and I literally have contact with 1. It pains me every second. I have a cry or emotional day on their birthdays, and Christmases. But it is, what it is. It was your place to protect your children from any harm, which has been failed. Your next move is most definitely to decide who is going to work - and the other builds these babies back up! Personally, they need counselling to find out what abuse they were told to hide from adults. As Iā€™ve no doubt from your words of your trauma, that they have.

I cannot believe you would leave your kids with someone so abusive. Youā€™re ridiculous.

I would say your children and husband is more important than your sisters. Keep yourself and your children away from this woman. Seems like she could really be dangerous. Pray that God comes into her life. God is the only one that can change someone.

You need to leave that situation for good. I would be greatly concerned for the nieces being in a situation like that. Never ever trust her with your children. You are way better off without that.

She is toxic! You did the right thing leaving and taking your childrenā€¦ the next thing you need to do is call CPS to have them check on HER CHILDREN! If she can do that to you over something little I am fairly certain she is or will do it to her children. Do not feel guilty.

im sorry i am not one to judge anyone for their decisions but why in the heck would you even let your kids be near her? given her abusive nature. especially the sexual part! i feel bad for you and your situation but you really should have known better. this is on you. and i agree with the person who said you need to call someone to make sure her kids are okay. theyre probably not.

She has abused you mentally , physically and emotionally, she beat you in front of your kids I think you need to run far away from her why expose your kids to the same abuse you lived. Iā€™m sorry but just because sheā€™s your sister doesnā€™t give her the right to do what sheā€™s done. She needs help ! Find someone else to help you and never look back!!!

My oldest brother was just as bad. I disowned him and have never looked back. My kids donā€™t know him and never will know him. After all she did, I donā€™t know how you couldā€™ve let her in your life to begin with. Iā€™d be doing major damage control with my kids and finding out if she did anything to them or her own kids. Fact is, the kids will talk to each other about things that go on. If she did anything to her own, yours may know about it. No matter what though, get her out of your life.

Just forget everything about her, she is not worth keeping in your life and never let your kids be involved with her againā€¦

Everyone is ask you ā€œwhy you did thatā€ nobody is listening to what you said. First things first, I hope you have removed the children from her home, then I would pray that you have talked to each of them alone and ask what every parent does when we fear the worst, if she has abused ANY of your children in ANY shape, form or way that you have made a full on police report. I know losing your job can be scary but losing your children is devastating. The word FAMILY is just that, unfortunately not every day is going to be bright and shining, thereā€™s going to be some black clouds in the sky at times and if we as parents donā€™t teach our children how to ride them out and get up and dust offā€¦ who will? Your sister? If she taught you life was all hard whatā€™s she going to teach them? There a lot of help out there for those who need it and donā€™t abuse it. Thereā€™s no reason to ever go one night without hugging them good night and holding them tight cause when theyā€™re grown youā€™ll be praying for those moments you let your sister have them or anyone you choose to take care of them for you. Those are YOUR children no matter what keep them close cause theyā€™re going to remember how hard you worked to hold them up, they will respect you for it. Good luck and May god bless you and your family on you journey.

Iā€™m really sorry to read this and I donā€™t write this to argue with anyone but what does a page titled ā€œMy Husband is a Blessingā€ have to do with with family issues and people seeking advice for Dr. Phil type situations?
If anything it is dangerous to have others try to fix a person when thereā€™s no professional training. Thatā€™s the first thing I learned at church care groups is to not try to fix each other.

I followed this page because it seemed positive and uplifting but Iā€™m constantly seeing this stuff. Some of the comments would be more harmful than helpful to someone who is hurting and needs professional advice.

My thoughts/opinion. Please donā€™t bother with nasty replies.

If someone can do that to their own flesh and blood then you should not trust them. And if sheā€™d done this to you your whole life why on the hell would you leave you children with her?

Think of your children. Thatā€™s all you can worry about right now is their well being and yours.
If you are worries if your nieces may being abused call for a welfare check. But other than that not much you can do. Iā€™m so sorry. I know you are probably looking for better options. But just worry about you and your kiddos. Take care I know holidays are coming but maybe create some new traditions you and your kids can do together
