I am a big sister to my sister who is 8 years younger than me and also my brother who is 4 years younger than me.
When I was grown I moved out of my parents home into my grandmothers as she was sick and needed help.
I Thank God I did move but I also feel guilty that I did as I found out years later that my brother tried to abuse my sister sexually and my parents did nothing about it.
I should have kept a closer look on her as he tried things with me as well and I was never comfortable in my own home and this is why I left.
My sister thinks my mom knew but ignored it which is not right.
I thought it was only with my brother but my sister says our cousin also tried to do things with her and so she helped me make sure it never happened to my daughter.
But still what can I do to make this go away?
National Child Abuse Prevention Month: Get Involved #VetoViolence
So I wanted to share this post with you and ask you to keep your eyes and ears open and help others.
If you think someone you know is facing any of this Please get them some help.
I would hate for you to have to go through what my family did.

As a survivor of sexual abuse, I can honestly tell you two things. First, what happened to your sister IS NOT your fault, so get rid of that guilt right now!!! Second, you can not make it go away. Sorry, I know you do not want to hear that, but it is the truth. What you CAN do, is foster a survivor as opposed to a victim mentality in both yourself and your sister. With that kind of attitude, you both will be able to not only deal with it better, but be stronger.
I wish you the best. As I said I am a survivor.
