My dearest Cat, I am Peach who has posted a number of times as I am Afflicted with PTSD.
from the moment I was born it started. I was not wanted and am sure I was the product of a rape. More info on that later. Not only was I abused by both parents but also by my older and two younger sisters. Very seriously so. This was both a mental and physical abuse. Hitting, screaming I am a nothing, etc., etc. All day long and every day. Told to kill myself as I was not wanted. Beatings by all constantly. I lived in the streets most of the time. I was the one to clean the apartment, wash the cloths, shop. I suffered all my life from this. Left out of all family matters, etc., etc. This still continues so I stay away and do not respond. On top of all this it is clear my parents are insane but functioning. It is a lonely life, no relatives. Both my parents are dead now and just today I foul letter cane in the mail from my older sister stating the youngest sister died January 29th, more than a month ago: and that the other younger sister is keeping all of the dead sisters belongings and that I should get a lawyer and look into this. I will grieve but will not enter in to contacting, It would help to know how she died (perhaps from this new virus?) I am grieving now even with all the hate that enters into anything that happens with this family. I want you to know that I think this is common among many families. It will affect you, me and millions of others but I find that some how, some way you must believe in yourself. No matter what, believe in yourself. It does work. After a long while, but yes, it does work. We are the strong ones and the understanding ones and do help to make the world a better place. Remember, memories are what we make them to be. With the most understanding and love. Peach
