nan,

Thank you for sharing your story.  I'm so sad that you went through all that pain and no, it was not your fault about your father at all.  I understand your fear about the doll too.  I can remember similar situations in my own life where I felt very afraid like that.  Your brother was no brother at all.  What a truly MONSTEROUS creature! It's all going to be ok.  You are in a good place with people who will encourage you and love you through to healing.

BLessya,
~Laura

Laura - I appreciate the kind words.  Sometimes I think I need to sit down with my brother just to let him know the impact his cruelty has had on me all these years -- like maybe bringing it out into the open would help somehow.  But the more I think about it, I'm sure he just wouldn't get it -- he'd just laught about it or minimize it, rationalize it, etc.  He's definitely an N, too, like my mom and oldest brother. He's had a lot of relationship problems throughout his life, very angry and manipulative sort of person. I remember reading that it's best just to stay clear of N's as much as possible - sounds like good advice.

Kind of hard to do when they are in your family or immediate places you congregate, but yes, it's best to steer clear and avoid them and pray.
