She is 17 and a bit socially/intellectually behind. She didn’t think it was assault because she enjoyed it. We’ve spent the last few days together talking through it and I’ve just been there for her. Neither of out parents spoke to us about sex and relationships, so I was abused when I was 14 and now she has been abused at 17 because nobody fucking taught us how to not be. I gave her the ‘talk’ a few weeks ago when I thought she might have a boyfriend, and I am so fucking glad that I did because she felt like she could open up to me. I wanted to genuinely kill the fucking piece of shit but I had to be the adult in the situation so I couldn’t. Shame.
My other sister isn’t really my sister but I just say that atp as she kind of lives with us sometimes. She is a trans girl (based and DIYpilled since 16) but she has a really neglectful home life (just her and dad, mum passed away when she was a kid) and her house is always dirty, they don’t have a freezer, and dad chain smokes indoors. She is so skinny but eats more than my literal 6ft overweight bf and I realised that she just doesn’t get enough food at home. I got her some bras and underpants and socks, I wash her clothes and feed her good food. It’s not fair. She can’t even swim and failed all of her GCSEs due to mental health and she is incredibly neurodevelopmentally delayed to the point that she struggles to be independent. I think it’s because she never had a parent to advocate for her. She has a big SH issue and I didn’t tell her to stop I just made sure she had clean blades and gauze and bandages and now I feel fucking evil, like I’ve basically told her there’s nothing wrong with it and that it’s ok.
I am trying my best, I feel like it isn’t enough
Don’t feel guilty, she knows without u that it’s a bad habit, u said her to minimize the damage that’s important
You’re a good sister
oh god is my writing style that feminine i’m a dood
No it’s just the gender ratio of people here
no i think it’s because most people on here are women. your typing style is rather neutral
i’m sorry :(
your life sounds like a novel
what you did with your sister was not telling her that it’s okay to self harm, what you did was harm reduction. telling people who cut themselves to stop is useless 99% of the time and i believe that recovery only works if the person doing it is ready to recover. i think you did everything right
i’m also very sorry to hear about what happened to your other sister :(
You’re an incredible man and a good big brother and I really hope you can take care of both your little sisters and care for them and keep them safe. You’re strong. And I believe in you. I hope you can help both your sisters and maybe even have the one sister of yours come and live with your family one day… idk…
I just hope you all will be fine.
