This could be a long one....
I come from a large family & my dad died when I was 10. A few years later my brother (5yrs older) started hitting me but no-one ever took him to task over it. Mum had drinking problems & was probably scared of him, while my sisters just seemed to ignore it or accept it as normal.
To cut a long story short when my mum died I broke contact with my family and really don't miss them, but one of my siblings keeps trying to get us all back together. If I refuse I am accused of keeping a grudge and told I should forgive & forget - despite the fact I never got an apology.
Opinions please...
