So sorry for all you've been through, Lizbeth, and for all of the pain, especially the aftermath. Maybe it was a safe time to release it? Or maybe there was just so much....too much to contain any longer? It's good that you were here speaking. I hope things are going much better for you now.
You have certainly acted honourably by all that you did for your sibblings and even making a decision re your mother (you could have refused or insisted your sister be located by the police but you took the responsibility and did what had to be done), and giving your father more than his share of the proceeds......waaaaaaay more than generous. You have been so responsible, always the strong one...for your sibblings to lean on, fighting for your brother's welfare, standing up to your abusers like a little soldier girl. Too much responsibility for a child, a young adult, even as an adult.....but you've taken it on and done your best.
I believe your story..finish as you are ready. It's tiring just reading it, so I can imagine the energy it took to write it. You're doing a good job. Hopefully it's a bit purging to at least do that?

There aren't any words to soothe the wounds of such a dramatic and traumatic experience. Or at least, I don't know them (wish I did). You're very admirable and brave for telling us about it.
