Shouldn't I Be Happy....?

[NoddaProbBob]

Well, lots of stuff has been going on the last past week.

My brother (my abuser) doesn't live with us anymore. He and my parents got into a huge fight on Thursday night, and he never came home. He went over to my Aunts house, and as of today, he now lives there. Hes coming to move his things out tomorrow.

I'm kinda indifferent about this whole thing. I'm so glad he's gone, but in another sense, something doesn't feel right.

Sigh. Why can't things be eaisier?

i don't know why things aren't easier...all i know is to treat him the best way you can and keep on forgiving him,it doesn't change his actions but at least you will be right with God doing the right thing.Hopefully sometime he will realize what he has done to you and how he has hurt you.Maybe him being away from you ,you will at least have some peace now and who knows he may begin to treat you better since your apart.....i don't know........Im in a simular situation and i know how difficult it is.

thats a part of life, people come & people go, as it is your family it is sad & you should forgive, the bible talks alot about how you should relate and act towards your brother. Id say it is best to forgive your brother & not get angry, at some stage in your life you may need to speak to a counciler about the abuse if it was realy bad but it may be a good idea to forgive him the best you can for now until you are an adult & ready & have got through all your schooling first, It is not a good idea to rebel at any stage, from experience.

It's like going your whole life with a ringing in your ears, and then suddenly the ringing stops. The silence should be welcome, but it seems so loud...

Please, give yourself time to get used to the new situation. There's no right way or wrong way to feel about it. *hugs*
