My respect for you just increased by a TON. I really admire you for having the courage to write this.
I have an estranged sister. I have never met a more toxic person in my entire life. No one has ever come close to her abusive behavior in my life.
I have four adopted siblings, and unfortunately, she was one of them. The judgement my family has faced has been horrible. It took my parents years of the most toxic behavior before cutting her off. I blocked her three years ago.
My mom still has PTSD from everything. I wrote about my sister a tiny bit in my book, but even I am still scared of her. I have always wanted to write an article on what I had to endure, but I still don't have the courage.
