They're all in their mid- to late 20s now. Nobody is in therapy, not even "T." I've asked my other siblings about it to the point that I've been told to back off. The family continues to go on partying together. They've had two children in the past three years.
He said that he was actively working on his issues with a therapist, and that he'd never have children if he thought he himself was a threat. I asked if he was considering having children. well, there's so much that nobody was saying. Everyone laughs, sings, parties together. On the outside, everyone looks so put together. I was still wrestling with my anger with "T," my own feelings of worthlessness for not having protected my siblings, and my anger with my dad for just having another cocktail with all of the craziness. a woman who seems fine on the outside, but almost as if there's something stirring underneath. "T" married a woman he had dated for several years - a woman I don't like. Mind you, I once found naked photos of my father with his sister.įast-forward to 10 or 12 years later. My dad drank, but then again that had started way before any of this. It seemed that everyone I knew, every young family member, had been affected. My youngest brother started getting high at age 12, and I've never seen him sober since. Each of those siblings went on to start drinking and using drugs. Minimal, if any therapy, was received by my other siblings. Then, my other brother, age 6, said that he didn't want to talk about it. Then, my cousin said that he used to come over to her house when her dad wasn't home and asked if he could be her first kiss. My sister, age 8, then came forward and said that "T" had also been molesting her ever since she could remember. My brother, a minor himself, went into counseling. The family friend was indicted by a grand jury, and then a few days later shot himself before standing trial. "T" told everyone about how this family friend had been "raping" him for years. she had somehow connected all the dots already. This was when I was 18, the other two brothers were 10 and 12 at the time. It was found out by my mother (divorced from my father) who walked in on two of my other brothers engaged in fellatio. He would come over and they would get so sloshed together that this friend would end up spending the night. This friend had been one of our dad's drinking buddies.

And, Nick-even with my respect for some of your other work and full disclosure, here, with my personal and positive history with your family, your notion that disordered psychology and behavior is freedom, means that, in time, you will have to confront some long-denied demons, too.When I was 18, I found out that my brother (I'll call him "T") had been sexually abused for years by a family friend. I’m here to help them, in part by telling them that, even if they are in denial about the underlying suffering fueling their symptoms (incest), they will have to confront it, eventually.
So here’s the truth, from this one psychiatrist, so that not every psychiatrist is presumed to be a pushover for psychiatric disorders masquerading as one’s “rights” or as expressions of “freedom:” A sexual 'affair' between an adult brother and sister means both of those individuals are severely psychologically disordered. And the ambassadors of this epidemic of pathological-behavior-as-freedom too often come from an industry that I happen to have more than a little experience with: television and film. In our increasingly psychologically ill society, the mainstreaming of psychiatric pathology-what one of my mentors termed, “collaborating with madness”-passes for tolerance and enlightenment.
