[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 658258, member: 1963"] Tanya, My fear, and unfortunately, my gut feeling, is that without some real change on her part, my sister isn't going to be able to beat these demons. Right now, she is looking for ways to "push them back into their box" and to stop their interfering with intimacy with her soon to be husband. She doesn't seem to be willing to go through what is necessary to actually be shed of the demons. I know how hard the therapy for sexual abuse is. I know how hard the therapy for PTSD is. I've been through it. I'm still in therapy though more on a "tune up" basis these days. My reason for wanting to go through therapy with my sister is that she's got some demons about ME that she needs to exorcise and that both of us would benefit from exorcising. I have some wrong assumptions about her behaviour in the past due to my not knowing about the sexual abuse. I do know that I can't go back to the early days when husband and I were dating and we were rooting kid sister out of bars and parties at 4AM because my parents were freaking out about her safety. I cannot rescue her anymore. This is her fight. It has to be. And the only way for her to cease being a victim is for her to win this battle. She can't win this battle without the right sort of (professional) help on her side. And damn it, she needs back under the care of a psychiatrist and back on her medications! [/QUOTE]
